Despite Danni’s efforts to make Paris her home her situation is less than ideal. To make matters worse a junior marshal, who seems perfect in every way, arrives in Paris. Is he trying to make her look bad? His easy going positive attitude does little to dispel Danni’s annoyance and envy. Fortunately, romance is in the air. Danni has her hands full with criminals preying on a local Weeia merchant and her new trainee. Her instincts tell her that a powerful Weeia has been forcing humans to commit a series of crimes, wiping their victim’s memories, and leaving them to human justice. Will Danni be able to discover who is behind the crimes and stop them without losing her own mind?
