Bonds of friendship are best forged over time, but when time is running out, can you afford to be picky?
Pursued by a jilted vampire, a psychotic faery mother, and a mob of angry gypsies, four very accidental companions find they've got nothing to lose but their newfound (and extremely shaky) friendship. There's Nicu, half-vamp, half-Fae, lugging a chip on his shoulder the size of a troll. There's Rho, a faery gone soft. Well, maybe. There's Nadya, more gypsy than Fae, with skills a hardened criminal would envy. And then there's Alfie. Will he ever settle down and just do what he's told? Or will he always be a grown-up who won't grow up?
