Death is no stranger in the city of Erisén -- but some deaths attract
more attention than others.
When a prostitute dies carrying a royal signet, Isyllt Iskaldur,
necromancer and agent of the Crown, is called to investigate. Her search
leads to desecrated tombs below the palace, and the lightless vaults of
the vampiric vrykoloi deep beneath the city. But worse things than
vampires are plotting in Erisén. . .
As a sorcerous plague sweeps the city and demons stalk the streets,
Isyllt must decide who she's prepared to betray, before the city built
on bones falls into blood and fire.
