"The only thing more fun than an October Daye book is an InCryptid book." โCharlaine Harris, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Sookie Stackhouse series Improbable, adjective: 1. Not very likely to happen; not probable. 2. Probably not a very good idea anyway. 3.

Sheโs been happy playing roller derby and hanging out with her cousins, leaving the globe-trotting to her older siblings while she stays at home and tries to decide what she wants to do with her life. She always knew that one day, things would have to change. She didnโt think theyโd change so fast. Annieโs expectations keep getting shattered. She didnโt expect Verity to declare war on the Covenant of St. George on live television. She didnโt expect the Covenant to take her sisterโs threat seriously. And she definitely didnโt expect to be packed off to London to infiltrate the Covenant from the insideโฆbut as the only Price in her generation without a strong resemblance to the rest of the family, sheโs the perfect choice to play spy. They need to know whatโs coming. Their lives may depend on it. But Annie has some secrets of her own, like the fact that sheโs started setting things on fire when she touches them, and has no idea how to control it. Now sheโs headed halfway around the world, into the den of the enemy, where blowing her cover could get her killed. Sheโs pretty sure things canโt get much worse. Antimony Price is about to learn just how wrong itโs possible for one cryptozoologist to be.
