Morena must kill. Born a necromancer, her power demands a constant sacrifice—consume or be consumed. Commoners fear her, nobles loathe her, and everyone else tries to stay out of her path. They call her the Blackwater Hag and scribble her face on every Wanted poster in the realm. Yet when a ghoul or a wraith starts dragging children from their beds, no reputation seems too grim and no fee too steep. Razakel is an archdevil trapped in his own grimoire. Through luck—or something far more nefarious—the book falls into the hands of Morena’s associate, Victor. Sellswords being sellswords, Victor sells Morena out and flees with the grimoire, thinking that if he can outsmart a notorious necromancer, he can surely outwit whatever dwells between those cursed pages. But devils aren’t nearly as forgiving as tired necromancers. For fans of THE WITCHER UNIVERSE and grimdark fantasy—sprinkled over with spice and absolutely nothing nice. A story perfect for the HALLOWEEN SEASON.
