With restless spirits vanishing and a dark demon from their past emerging, he and Yadriel might be the only ones reckless enough to stop a threat that could tear their world apart.Julian used to be a ghost and now he can't stop seeing them.Ever since Julian was sacrificed as part of a forbidden ritual, he has been able to see and talk with spirits. And that's really cool, since it allows him to be part of his new boyfriend's community. But Julian's seeing other things, too: flickers at the edge of his vision, eyes burning in the night, and "e;dark spots"e; on people-gaping wounds that thrum and bleed shadow. Yadriel has never heard of anything like it, either, and he's so busy with his new brujx responsibilities that Julian hates for his problems to ruin what little time they have together.Then a strange new brujx shows up. Angel, as a nonbinary bruje, can heal the living and release the dead, but more than that, they can also see the same dark spots as Julian. Despite Yadriel's reservations, Julian eagerly accepts their help. But, Angel's ruthless methods feel wrong to Julian.With the shadows growing darker and the discovery of a gaping dark spot on his friend Luca, Julian has to decide who he wants to put his trust in, and just how far he's willing to go to save what is his.
