“The
dead can’t lie. At least, not to me.”
With the
dangerous Milus Dei cult collapsed, Gideon Black is trying to get
used to his new life as a half-Fae and the DeathSpeaker—a legendary
Other with the ability to compel the dead to speak. But when freshly
murdered bodies turn up in New York with ankh-and-sword tattoos
identifying them as cult members, Gideon realizes his battle with
Milus Dei is far from over.
While
dealing with a singing dead man and a powerful Seelie noble out for
revenge, Gideon discovers that the remaining cult survivors have
skipped town. Their new target: his werewolf friend Sadie’s
estranged pack in the Appalachian Mountains.
Then
Sadie’s younger sister is abducted, and Gideon and his newfound
brother Taeral offer to help get her back. But the rescue mission
soon turns deadly as they uncover Milus Dei’s true target—and
find that the cult is not only far bigger than the New York branch,
but also developing a biological weapon to turn their soldiers into
unstoppable killing machines, capable of taking down any Other.
And
Sadie’s blood holds the key to perfecting that weapon.
