Turmoil, sickness, and destruction are sweeping through Europe—and its effects are being felt all the way across the world in Seattle. Harper Blaine and her lover, Quinton, suspect that Quinton’s father, James Purlis—and his terrifying Ghost Division—are involved.
Following a dark trail of grotesque crimes and black magic across the Old World, the pair slowly draws closer to their quarry. But finding and dismantling the Ghost Division won’t be enough to stop the horror that Purlis has unwittingly set in motion.
An ancient and forgotten cult has allied with Quinton’s mad father. And their goals are far more nightmarish than Harper and Quinton—or even Purlis—could ever imagine.
The pursuit leads to Portugal, where the desecrated tomb of a sleeping king and a temple built of bones recall Harper’s very first paranormal case and hold clues to the cult’s true intentions. Harper and Quinton will need all the help they can get to avert a necromantic cataclysm that could lay waste to Europe and drag the rest of the world to the brink of war.

Greywalker Harper Blaine reunites with her love Quinton in Portugal but not for a vacation. The two are hunting Quinton's father, James Purlis, a dark mage who plans to unleash a necromantic creature on the world. An ancient city, Lisbon is a challenge for Harper because of her affinity for ghosts and spirits, but luckily she and Quinton have vampire Carlos, who lived (and died) in the city, along for the ride. The three chase after Purlis, as he and his allies raid the ossuaries for the bones needed for his ritual. VERDICT Every long-running series can do with a change of locale, and choosing Portugal allows Richardson to give readers the backstory for Carlos while still developing Harper and Quinton's relationship. The stakes are higher in this volume (after 2013's Possession), but the story suffers a bit as it departs from Harper's private investigation roots.
