In a place where magic is a source of fear and silence is the path to survival, the Vile Wardens are known only as rumor. Ten souls cursed by their tips and haunted by the events that brought them here travel in shadow through the city of Easthaven; each of them bound together in a way much better than merely loyalty-yet also in a way much more than loyalty. They are monsters in the eyes of the kingdom and have become familiar with the dark and its offer of safety. But lurking just below the surface of the mutations of the tales, the decay of the monarchies and the destruction of truth, there is something beginning to awaken. And when shadows reach for Easthaven, the decision will be made as to what the wardens will do in order for their continued existence.
