Sebastian Sallow, an Unspeakable with too many ghosts and not enough answers, is assigned to investigate a string of magical disturbances with roots older than history itself. What begins as routine quickly spirals into something much darker, and far more personal.
Their lives were never supposed to cross again. But some magic refuses to stay buried.
Some ghosts refuse to stay gone.
And some devices, once set in motion, cannot be undone.sebastian
