A disgraced wizard. A deadly mystery. A truth too strange to outrun.When a woman named Mary Briggs appears to have returned from the grave, wizard Jake Stranger knows this is no ordinary case. But uncovering who — or what — she really is may be the key to stopping something far more dangerous.Because Grey Edge is changing.With the rest of the Talismen refusing to confront the truth, and the body count steadily climbing, Jake is left to face the darkness alone. Until he turns to the one person he trusts — the powerful and perceptive witch, Holly Felderstafe… once his closest ally, and more.But nothing is simple anymore.Not when his feelings for the fiercely intelligent and beautiful Taliswoman Franziska Rubik are growing stronger.Not when old loyalties are tested.And not when every answer leads to something even more disturbing.Because the deeper Jake digs, the clearer it becomes:The people of Grey Edge are hiding something.Something not of this world.Something that doesn't belong.And something that may already be too powerful to stop.
