"Reapers, vampires, and… zombies?" Helena Pierce is recovering from the shock of her life… er, death. While she's trying to cope with her world getting turned on end once again, her best friend Grace comes to her with disturbing news: Boude, Grace's boyfriend, is missing. Hel is reluctant to get herself involved in vampire affairs, but can't stand to sit idly by while her friend is missing-especially when she suspects the sinister Rasputin might be behind it. In the fields of the dead, bodies are disappearing as fast as the reapers can dig them up, and things at the Assignment Hall are getting profoundly more strange as all of the employees suddenly have fangs. As Hel and her friends begin digging deeper into the bizarre events, they discover a terrifying plot that could bring down the underworld as they know it. And when the bodies in the field begin clawing their way out of the graves, they know that they are up against something more powerful than they could ever have imagined.
