The Index: Book 3: Lineage

It's the year 3400 in New York City, and Alex Kramer's company troubles are complicated by the sudden disappearance of his business partner and friend, Jason Watson. Alex immediately suspects foul play, and calls in some otherworldly assistance. No sooner than help arrives, Jason resurfaces with something that could turn the entire concept of Mages on its head.


Just when Arriella, the current High Mage, recovers from her latest mission, she finds out that the skeleton in her father's closet is, in fact, it's her sister she had never met, never known, and who is now missing. Her recent whereabouts plunge Arriella right back into New York City, where the intergalactic presence is a fact of life, and discovers that her sister has a bone to pick with quite a few people, including Arriella herself.


The Index: Lineage brings an entirely new twist to the old saying, "Blood is thicker than water". The Mages, a close group, always value their own, whether or not they got their powers by birth or otherwise. But what happens when someone comes along to redefine the perception of normal in a universe where magic is commonplace?


Sometimes, lineage can be a killer.
