Sapphires & Souls — Pam McCutcheon

Most part-demons in the Demon Underground have awesome powers, like the ability to walk through others' dreams, predict the future, or phase through matter. Me? I talk to rocks. Yeah, they try to make it sound cool by calling me the stone whisperer, but honestly? Talking to self-centered, annoying gemstones doesn't exactly set the world on fire (that would take a fire demon).So when a seer makes a vague prophecy that says I am the only one who can save Selene's son and prevent widespread bloodshed in Colorado Springs, I'm a bit skeptical. However, since the seer has a hundred percent accuracy rate--and I really want to find some way to be useful to the underground--I reluctantly head to Colorado to check it out.With the help of my hellhound, a water demon, a vampire, and a wickedly powerful opal, can I unravel this puzzle before disaster occurs?Crap. Talk about impossible....Sapphires & Souls is a 35,000 word urban fantasy novella, first in The Stone Whisperer Chronicles, a spin-off from The Demon Underground series featuring powerful part-demons, snarky hellhounds, helpful vampires, and secretive shifters.
