Elena Baxter can heal with her hands. She does it very
quietly and once she has healed she moves on. She lives
on a farm by herself so when she is kidnapped while
finishing up healing a child, she can't understand how

SummaryElena Baxter can work miracles with her hands. She can coax
bones to knit, flesh to heal. She can mend the mind. She has
been doing such work for almost all of her twenty-eight
years. That is why she will be taken.
The media called it a rampage of terror, the recent murders.
But fighting crime is why Artur Loginov joined Dirk &
Steele. The international detective agency specializes in
the impossible, and their creed is simple: Help those in
need, no matter how difficult, and no matter what, keep the
secret safe. For the agency helps its employees, too; people
like Artur—the gifted, the tormented. Dirk & Steele
gave the Russian emigre purpose, protection, community...and
refuge from his past, for who can trust a man who can start
a fire with his mind, or shape-shift, or read others'
thoughts as easily as drawing breath? For his similar
talent, Artur will be taken.
Into the darkness Elena and Artur will be drawn, into the
clutches of evil. Cornered, isolated, caged, they will fight
for their very souls. But salvation awaits...it exists in a
form least expected: a dream of a face, a brush of a mind,
the hint of a kiss, and finally, at long last, a shadow touch.
