In the Forest of the Dead, twin sisters Moria and Ashyn serve as Keeper and Seeker, guiding the souls of the damned to rest. Every year, the task is harrowing. This year, it turns deadly.
When the spirits revolt, the girls barely escape with their lives. Joined by a reluctant imperial guard and a charming convict, they set out across a haunted empire to warn the emperor of the rising threat.
But something darker stirs beyond restless souls. An ancient betrayal is unraveling the fragile peace of their world, and the truth at the empire’s heart may be worse than the monsters they flee.
Sisters. Outcasts. Warriors.
Their roles were sacred. Now, they’re all that stands between order and chaos.
