The coveted Morrígan's staff is up for sale on the black market to the highest bidder, and SOA Special Agent Patrick Collins will do whatever it takes to ensure the Dominion Sect doesn't get their hands on it. Returning the weapon to its rightful owner is another step on the long road toward clearing Patrick's soul debt, but he won't walk it alone. Jonothon de Vere won't let him.

Obeying the gods means Patrick must travel to London. For Jono, it means facing a past he thought he'd left behind forever. His return to England isn't welcome, and neither is their pack, but Jono and Patrick will face the antagonism together. Politics aside, their priority must be the mission, but the bone-chilling secret they uncover in the London god pack will have far-reaching repercussions no one can ignore.

A race against time takes Patrick and Jono from the streets of London to the bright lights of Paris, where hospitality is thin on the ground, the air is filled with whispered prayers for the missing, and the Morrígan's staff will end up in the one place it should never have gone-a graveyard.

For beneath Paris lie the long-forgotten dead, and when they rise to walk again, the living can only hope to die.
