Sorcha Faris, the most powerful deacon of the Order, finds herself thrust into an unwanted partnership with a total novice, Merrick Chambers.

Shapeshifter and Pretender to the Imperial throne he bears a terrible curse which endangers them all.
As they investigate, the strange settlement is reveled to be haunted by a undead creature more predatory and horrifying than any encountered before. Together they quest to uncover the mystery of twisted rituals passed down through the dark reaches of history intent on striking at the heart of the Empire.
Can three powerful and troubled people discover a way to work together to save the citizens and themselves?

From the Author
Geist was one of those stories that I couldn't stop coming. The original nugget of an idea actually came after I watched one of those buddie cop movies. I imagined a fantasy version of that, with an older experienced female, and a young rookie male. Sorcha and Merrick were born, and once I added a rakish shape-shifter the world was born.
