Shenshee continues to learn of and fulfill the duties of the Keeper of the Portals. The town of Penelton is under attack. Beginning with vandalism. It escalates when Ellerad’s store is robbed, and he is beaten badly. The authorities are slow at curtailing the gang that is terrorizing the town. The attacks spiral when they murder a citizen and then kidnap three children. Shen works to rid the town of demons and tries to sort out what is happening around her.

Shenshee Whooldan lives with her grandfather in the Celkee Forest until tragedy strikes and her grandfather dies at the hands of a demon. Before he dies, he confers the job of Keeper of the Portals on her. She has no idea what that means, since she didn’t even know the Keeper existed. After her grandfather’s death, she is sent to an orphanage, further limiting her ability to fulfill her promises to her grandfather. No one believes in the immortals anymore, the demon is stalking her, another orphan is out to make her life miserable, and her teacher seems to not like her very much.
