Some seek to use her forbidden magic. Others wish to kill her because of it.
Four years ago, eighteen-year-old Alfie’s murder and resurrection forced her into a world invisible to humans: the Underworld, where grim things from folklore skulk in gloomy doorways and hidden corners, waiting for the perfect prey to stumble past. Demons. Warlocks. Little beasties.
For years, Alfie has been running from this world, hiding from those who hunt her, but the time for running is nearing an end.
As Alfie’s past finally catches up to her, and she is pulled deeper into this sinister world, she discovers that its shadowy history is starting to repeat itself. A supernatural war is brewing; a war in which Alfie and the dark power of necromancy she unwillingly possesses may have an unfortunate role to play.
Where can Alfie run to when the man who killed her reappears, leaving a trail of bodies and chaos in his wake?
Who can Alfie trust in a world built from secrets and lies?
What can Alfie do when those she cares about most become entangled in a wicked web of deception and ruin?
