Kate Winters—the strongest of the Skilled, descended from an ancient, powerful bloodline—is a captive. She is being led to the very edge of life and death, so that she can call down all the spirits that haunt the graveyard city of Fume. No one can resist the pull of the crumbling veil, and soon the dead will overrun the living. Unless Silas and Edgar can stop her. Edgar is Kate's one anchor to the living. But Silas... well, Silas is enigmatic, merciless, and often cruel. Will this villain we love to hate act honorably? Or not? Jenna Burtenshaw has a stunningly original vision, and she has created not just a magnificent city full of intrigue and darkness, but a hero and an antihero who will keep you guessing until the end. Who can you trust when good and evil are bound together?
