Fantasy
The dazzling debut from a brilliant new fantasy
talent.
This highly original, darkly atmospheric
fantasy novel immerses readers in a world where ghosts and
other malevolent spirits seek entry into mortal
realms—invisible to all but those who are not entirely human
themselves. Drawn into the ancient city of Merafi, yet
barred from entering by an ancient pact sealed in blood,
these hungry haunts await their opportunity to break through
the magical border and wreak havoc on the city’s innocent
denizens.
And as a priestess and prince weave a
sorcerous plot to shatter the pact and bring ruin on Merafi,
only a failed assassin-priest who is now a courtesan, a
noble lord married into the ruling family of Merafi, an
officer of the city guard, a woman warrior who was the
former lover of a now-dead lord, and the ghost of that lord
himself stand between Merafi and the tidal wave of magic
that may soon bring ruin flooding down upon the city.
