However, the discovery that she possesses the deep blood-magic of the Star-Dwellers puts her life, and that of her father's, in danger. Forced to flee Egypt, Mayet and her father rebuild their lives amongst The People of the Green Sea. Unfortunately, they soon find that the sandstorms of Egypt are not so easily evaded.

A teen ghosthunter must defeat the alluring demon Black Prince in order to save her haunted city. *** The Great Haunting was just a historical plague. The alluring demon Black Prince wasn't real.

Armed with science, Binara is confident that she's a better ghosthunter than the city's shadowy ghostbusting agency. When history repeats itself with increasing incidents of missing girls and hauntings, Binara blames the demon prince for the disappearance of her sister. It's time to fight back before darkness takes over her home.
