From the back cover of the Berkley Books first edition: "He's been held captive in the land of the Sidhe, and when he returned home to Los Angeles, all he wanted was to live like a normal, average man again. <p>But there are hauntings on the city streets, and strange bodies in a crumbling old hotel, a Song of Power in the air, and an ancient creature summoning him from beneath the waters of a loch in Scotland. <p>Michael had returned to California at last. But the Sidhe are following him home..."
