Back home from her first mission, Solstice confronts a scarier problem than a lizard the size of a garbage truck: immortality.

She won’t exactly live forever, but ten thousand years isn’t much different. In the blink of an eye to her, everyone she loves will be gone. True, being the only elf in the world is a lonely future, but at least she has her cat to talk to. Good thing he talks back.

Solstice doesn’t have too long to mourn as someone thoughtfully sends a magical assassin to take her mind off the family she’ll eventually lose.

She’s fairly certain the Ordo Sanguinem Aeternam didn’t summon it since they’re far too inept for ancient magic. Before she can figure out where it came from, her friend Jade asks for help investigating a stolen mummy.

Now on the trail of the stolen mummy stole itself, she realizes New York is about to have a serious problem of the ancient kind if she doesn’t deal with it fast.

Between an out-of-control mummy and a magical assassin, outliving her family is the least of Solstice’s worries.

Catalyst is the third book in the Winter Solstice series of supernatural mysteries. This series is packed with magic, humor, evil cultists, romance, and epic battles. It also has a talking cat.
