It's a year since the events in "Relics" (PsiFinder 1), a year that has seen a whirlwind of growth and development in Christinas Amies' world. Her Psionic strength and ability have grown exponentially; she's able to do more with her powers ... and at the same time, she finds herself called on to undertake more and more difficult challenges. She reconnects with an old friend/colleague, FBI agent James Weymore ... which challenges her "entanglement avoidance system" as well as complicating her professional world. Work gets even more complicated when she stumbles on ex-Keeper "Bud," who designates himself as Christina's personal Psionic trainer. Her personal life gets more complicated as her A&L Locating family grows by one: Annie Pitts comes on board as A&L's new receptionist ... and Christina's Little Sister (and everything that having a "sister" entails). And all this is before she runs into the new bad guy in town ... who has taken the Stone of Ages as his own and plans to use it to cleanse humanity with a Psionic flood!
