Heka, the ancient god of magic, has grand plans and thanks to Dr. Semenov, Heka knows exactly where to start. Black-market weapons manufacturers and dealers. And his plans aren't for the good of the world. Meanwhile, Emily Trigger and the Prodigal Suns are impatiently waiting for a spell to work so they can track down Heka. They're using the time to figure out the mechanics of Emily's new magic and how they can use it. When the tracking spell finally goes off in the middle of the night, they grab their gear and follow their pet zombie. But they aren't the only ones following him. A whole bunch of Heka-turned-zombies are tracking them and they're hell bent on getting their hands on Emily and her magic. The Prodigal Suns aren't going to let that happen. Several fights later and they end up at Ricky Palladino's house. He's not Heka, but he's his left-hand man. And maybe his spell book might have some answers. They need a consult with Samsu to find the answer to putting an end to Heka once and for all. Or at least putting him back in his tomb. Can Emily and the Prodigal Suns fight off zombies and make their way into Russia before Heka completes his plans and destroys the world?
