Sometimes the truth will make you bleed.

The skeptics think they know what’s going on at Gethsemane Hall. So do the religious. So do the spiritualists. They’re all wrong. Richard Gray, grieving over the loss of his wife and daughter, learns that his ancestral home holds the secret of what lies beyond the grave. And all of a sudden, everybody wants a piece of Gethsemane Hall.

Louise Meacham wants in because a fellow CIA agent committed suicide there, and she has to put the ghost rumours to rest to get her career back. Anna Pertwee wants in because she’s determined to save the ghosts from the unbelievers and the debunkers. Patrick Hudson wants in because he has to save Gray’s soul.

So Gray will let them all in, these people who think they’re coming for the truth. What they don’t know is that the truth is coming for them.

Eloran is a world of imperious elves, fractious human realms, and the hated, skeletal kaul - with each nation poised to grasp at any advantage over the others. When Latanna Forgrym's despised father tries to engage her to the youngest son of a powerful, manipulative family, she forges a new path by marrying instead a man she respects but doesn't love. A chance encounter with a pair of mercenaries leads Latanna to a lost crown, a relic of forces the world has tried desperately to forget, and gives her the means to break free from her corrupt family - but at a terrible price. A kaul mercenary travels through the human realms with a companion of no nation, no identifiable species, and no memories - not even the memory of his own name. Latanna's crown sets the man on the path to recovering first his name - Vorykas - and then fragments of his past. As he searches for clues to himself, his connection to the crown and the suppressed lore it represents becomes clear. When a forbidden book resurfaces, threatening to reveal the knowledge Vorykas seeks, enemy forces move to conceal the book and any hint of its contents, by whatever means necessary. Latanna and Vorykas must unite to defend the realm and reveal the truth. But what they learn has the power to shake the world... and make the gods tremble.

Political upheavals rock the world of Eloran as magic comes into ascendancy. Vorykas, the god of the void, has reclaimed his identity and returned to the throne of Voran, though with his essence scattered, he is still weak. The human powers concentrate their power in a fortress city that moves across the land, crushing all before it. The elves, reeling after a coup changes the balance of power, join with the humans to attack the despised and persecuted kaul in order to draw Vorykas' forces of dragons and monsters out from the impregnable Voran - and prevent him from gathering his fragmented self. As battles in Eloran escalate, the gods themselves descend from the celestial city of Dengennis to join the war against one of their own, outcast eons ago. One piece of Vorykas remains out of his reach, the first part of him that was sundered when, an age ago, the gods betrayed him. Vorkyas, with the help of his strongest ally, Latanna, must hold off the forces of gods, elves, and mortals to defend his land and the kaul. But will even the secrets of the void be enough to save them if he can't find the last fragment of himself?
