Large houses hide the deepest secrets.
The Isle of Vallend crawls with the dead.
100 years ago, the doors to purgatory were thrown open, releasing countless wraiths onto Vallend’s shores. To protect the world, the island was sealed off, leaving its citizens one last line of defense: wraithkeepers, individuals who can capture wraiths rather than become possessed.
Samuel is an established wraithkeeper with over a hundred wraiths resting inside his own soul. The call to Hector Claymore’s home feels like any other. That is, until Claymore’s possessed wife dies in Samuel’s arms. With her last breath, he realizes the awful truth. This is not just any woman, but Allison, the sister he left behind twenty years ago.
To ensure the wraiths are contained, Samiel must return to his childhood home and the family he thought he’d never see again. Will Samuel continue his quest to keep Vallend safe from the dead, or will the truth that has burdened his soul for twenty years come back to haunt him?
