“The dead must answer to
you, and no one else. Remember that, Gideon.”

He may be the DeathSpeaker,
but Gideon Black has no idea what he’s doing. The job didn’t come with an
instruction manual. That’s why his half-brother Taeral plans to bring him
across the Veil to the Fae realm of Arcadia, to consult with an ancient Fae who
knew the previous DeathSpeaker personally.

But those plans are cancelled
when the royal Unseelie Guard invade their home, dragging Taeral and their
father, Daoin, to Arcadia ahead of schedule -- and under extreme duress. And
Gideon will do anything to get them back.

Since crossing the Veil
isn’t exactly a natural instinct, Gideon and his werewolf friend Sadie are
forced to seek help from an unlikely -- and unfriendly -- Unseelie Fae, a
dangerous traitor to his race who’s crossed paths with Taeral in the past. And
Gideon may not survive his acquaintance long enough to attempt a rescue.

The concrete jungles of
Manhattan are nothing compared to the threats waiting in Arcadia. Facing deadly
wildlife, even deadlier enemies, and magic he never imagined possible, Gideon
must learn quickly to wield his power as both a Fae and the DeathSpeaker --
before the vengeful Unseelie Queen can exact a cost higher than death from his
family, and everyone he holds dear.
