Crystal's apprenticeship is cut short when she is chosen by the wizard council of
Rovinien to hunt down and subdue a dangerous warlock named Wikeon. Wikeon, a
thief raised by werewolves, flees his home country after using black magic to
murder a man in defense of a werewolf friend. When Crystal realizes that Wikeon
is more than a ruthless killer, she finds herself falling in love with him,
causing her to betray the council and assist in his escape.
As enemy wizards close in on them, they turn to Wikeon's werewolf family for
protection. Far from providing security, an alliance with the pack pits them
against new enemies, setting them on a downward spiral toward their own
destruction and forcing Crystal into a desperate struggle to find redemption
for them all.
The Jericho Effect made the quarterfinals of the Young Adult division of the Amazon
