As Miss Fury prepares to take on the darkest occult elements New York has to offer, her alter-ego Marla wrestles with the suspicion that something sinister might be behind her own abilities as well. Can the supernatural be harnessed for good as well as evil? Or is Miss Fury trapped in a web of deceit from which there is no escape, no matter how hard she fights?
Marla is drawn deeper into the mystery surrounding the missing ship plans even as she comes to grips with her own troubled past. But who – or what – is stalking her through the snowy streets of New York? As friends are unmasked, enemies circle… leaving Marla's alter ego Miss Fury all alone to fight a foe she can barely comprehend!
Marla must choose her fate as past and future collide. Is she Marla Drake, friend and co-worker, or Miss Fury, a creature of dark power and fierce retribution? The answer lies far from land as the Minor Key seeks to unlock an apocalypse they can't control, forcing Miss Fury to confront the mysterious force coiled within her. Will she learn to harness it in time, or will all of New York pay the price?
Marla Drake, the untamable costumed adventurer known as Miss Fury, fought Nazis with wild abandon not just during World War II, but - due to a scientific mishap - throughout time, as well. Now trapped in the 1943 of a parallel universe, she comes face-to-face with her mirror double, a hedonistic murderess whose soul was never saved by the love of a good man. Realizing what her life could be like now that she has lost her own beloved Matthew Chandler, she surrenders to the slimy promises of Schauburger, a rogue (and dead) Nazi agent whose ghost can alter the timestream and set things right. The cost? Killing the alternate Marla Drake, the Pharaoh of Time, the Mafia superhero The Mob, a US Naval Intelligence nuclear physicist... and the list goes on. No matter how hard she tries, people just seem to want Miss Fury to murder for them. How many must die so that she can become a good person again? * "Miss Fury is freaking awesome!" - Following The Nerd * "I found myself absolutely enjoying this release every step of the way.

New York, 1942. As brave men from the Bronx to the Battery sail abroad to fight the greatest war the world has ever seen, the Big Apple would be left vulnerable, if not for Miss Fury!
