If Love
and Death die, what is left?
Silas
Umber has returned from Arvale, his family’s ancestral home, having disturbed
the tormented spirits of his ancient line. Frantic to retrieve the shade of his
beloved Beatrice, he turns his back on the spectral chaos he has left behind,
unaware that the malevolence he unleashed has followed him back to Lichport.
As his
family and friends suffer and fall at the hands of the vengeful Huntsman from
Arvale's sunken mansions, Silas must reach deep into his complicated bloodline
to summon powers and wisdom beyond those required of a simple Lichport
Undertaker. But the dark and painful secrets of his birth threaten to overwhelm
him, and if he can’t lay the ghosts of his own past to rest, if he refuses to
make the required sacrifice, Silas may lose everything and everyone he has
grown to love and worked to protect.
With the
stunning conclusion to the Undertaken trilogy, Ari Berk returns to the series
that Publishers Weekly calls "thought-provoking gothic
fantasy," School Library Journal praises as
"reminiscent of the classic gothic works of Nathaniel Hawthorne and
Shirley Jackson," and VOYA applauds
as "a captivating world that seduces with each page turn."
