Missing a piece of her soul won’t stop Shade from helping Scath with her murder weregild–whether Scath wants her help or not. After all, what self-respecting witch would let her friend face vengeful leannan sidhe twins alone?
It’s not Shade’s fault a dead wizard possessed the person Scath needs to fulfill her weregild. Or that he refuses to leave until Shade and Scath solve his murder.
Besides, solving a murder should be easy with the victim’s ghost right there to help. Right?
Well, it would have been easy if the victim hadn’t been a contestant in Paramnesia–the Otherworld’s gateway magic competition for wizards who want to join one of the Vanguard’s most prestigious and glamorous departments.
Now Shade and Scath are surrounded by wizards.
Not just wizards. Magicians.
Ambitious magicians.
Any one of Shade’s suspects would kill for a chance to take first place–and one of them did.
If Shade can’t find the killer soon, Scath will lose everything…
