Publisher's Synopsis
Between the living and the dead is the Order of the Deacons, protectors of the Empire, guardians against possession, sentinels enlisted to ward off malevolent hauntings by the geists. Sorcha, among the most powerful of the Order, is called to a small settlement, where she uncovers a conspiracy of evil that reaches back to her own abbey. Even if she survives, what hell would she be returning to?
