Lucas Rurik faces unwanted celebrity, ancient enemies, and dangerous zealots in a thrilling urban-fantasy noir from the author of the Hellequin Chronicles. Centuries of life experience inside and outside the Rift couldn't prepare former Raven Guild member and riftborn detective Lucas Rurik for his latest set of challenges. First, when his capture of a prominent political figure "trends" on social networks, he finds himself the target of both the media and the public. Then, Noah Kaya, an Ancient, tracks him down for help on a job. As a rule, Lucas doesn't trust the Ancients; they always seem to have an ulterior motive. But something about this gig just won't let Lucas say no. It seems one of Noah's close friends disappeared right after becoming the lead suspect in a murder case. The problem is the guy in question isn't the type to knock someone off. Not to mention a whole lot of rift-walkers have recently gone missing, the crime scene reeks of pure rift energy, and a deranged killer who Lucas thought was long deceased might not actually be dead after all. Soon, what was originally a simple search for a missing person devolves into a dangerous game of cat and mouse with an age-old enemy-and it could bring Lucas face-to-face with Dr. Callie Mitchell, the depraved scientist he's been hunting for months . . .

Lucas Rurik confronts a cult determined to remake the world-no matter the cost-in this urban fantasy noir from the author of the Hellequin Chronicles. Lucas Rurik is no stranger to navigating the tricky territory between humans and those touched by the rift. After all, as the last surviving member of the Raven Guild, protecting the peace is his job. But that doesn't mean it's easy. As much as Lucas would like to be out hunting for Dr. Callie Mitchell-a deranged scientist with a bad habit of experimenting on the rift-fused-his friends at the Rift-Crime Unit require his expertise on a perilous case. It seems a mysterious kingpin known as the Croupier has been making some shady deals, and revenants, riftborn, and humans alike are winding up dead in the process. Now, with the help of chained revenant Nadia and FBI-agent-turned-revenant Emily West, it's up to Lucas to track down the anonymous crime lord before anyone else is hurt. But as Lucas gets closer to his target, he discovers this is no ordinary manhunt. The Croupier is leading a dangerous group of zealots who want to destroy both the rift and humanity-and they'll stop at nothing to make their so-called Blessed plans a reality . . .Praise for The Last Raven"McHugh's pithy prose energizes the narrative, even when there's no superpower on display, and builds intrigue with gradual reveals of Lucas' rift-derived skills and backstory.
