The city of Erisín is built on bones, named for the saint of the underworld--death is no stranger in its walls. But some deaths attract more attention than others.
When a prostitute dies carrying a royal signet, Isyllt Iskaldur, necromancer and agent of the Crown, is called to investigate. Her search leads to desecrated tombs below the palace, and the lightless vaults of the vampiric vrykoloi deep beneath the city. She and the Crown Prince must hide their investigation from the King, or risk a war between the living and the undead.
But worse things than vampires are plotting in Erisín--a long-dead sorceress is making a bid not only for renewed life, but for the throne as well, and both Isyllt's former lover and the Prince's mistress are caught in her schemes. Soon Isyllt is torn between the living and the dead, between the man she still loves and the royal family she's sworn to defend.
As a sorcerous plague sweeps the city and demons stalk the streets, the King slips closer to madness, and Isyllt must decide who she's prepared to betray, before the city built on bones falls in blood and fire.
