Synopsis
The murder of Reverend Mother Cordelia shatters the Shadow Concilio. Isobel Ambrose, practitioner, sphere-walker, accused killer, finds herself hunted by the institution meant to govern magical practice. The evidence is damning: her face captured in the victim's dying eyes.
Isobel must navigate forbidden necromancy to extract testimony from the dead, manage an alliance with Adrian — a Wendigo sent to seduce and betray her — watch Rhys complete his transformation into something immortal, and prepare for the fifth sphere: Golachab. The Shadow Concilio fractures into warring factions.
Book 5 of The Left Hand Path series. Explicit adult content 18+.
