“My name is Gene, and I kill people.” My name is Gene Blanco. Around town I'm known as Spider. I'm the worst hitman in the South (when I'm not busy at the Barn cooking up the best BBQ in Ashland). As a Stone Elemental, I hear everything from the whisper of gravel beneath my feet to the vibrations of the roaring Appalachian Mountains overhead. If you need to quickly make a knife, then my Ice magic comes to the rescue. But I don't use my powers at work unless absolutely necessary. You can call it professional pride. Now that the cruel Air elemental has tricked me and killed my mentor, I am on the warpath. And I will destroy anyone who gets in my way - both good and bad. I may look like a hot babe, but I still play the bad guys. That's why I've been in trouble ever since that insufferably rude Detective Donovan Kane agreed to help me. And the last thing a cold-blooded killer like me needs, during a battle with stronger magic, is to be distracted by obscene thoughts... Especially when Donovan wants to kill me no less than the enemy.
