As Kate digs deeper into Edgar's shadowed past, she begins to understand just how far out of her depth she's wandered. Why did he abandon Thaxos for all those missing years... and what became of his once-beloved friend, James Nixon? The truth, she soon learns, lies buried in a shallow grave on the mansion grounds. At the same time, Edgar feels danger closing in. Whispers of rebellion stir among the townsfolk who believe Thaxos has never truly been free, and one woman is ready to turn those whispers into bloodshed. Driven by a family tragedy she lays at Edgar's feet, Cavaleri is prepared to stop at nothing in her quest for vengeance... and the Le Compte legacy may not survive her wrath. This is the third book in the long-running Dead Souls saga. Each book ends with a cliffhanger, and readers are advised to start at the beginning. This is the 2022 edition of the original 2014 book.
