In a high-stakes sequel, reluctant necromancer Luke Manchett must call upon the most wicked and eerie ghosts of his dispelled Host to save two innocent souls.
It s been a few months since Luke Manchett inherited a Host of eight hostile spirits from his dead father and made a deal with the devil to banish them. Luke s doing his best to blend in to the background of high school, to ignore the haunting dreams spawned by his father s Book of Eight, and to enjoy the one good thing to come from the whole mess: his girlfriend, Elza. And then it all begins again. Ash, a strange new girl with stark white hair, requests his help and his Book of Eight to save her twin sister, who was attacked by a demon. Ash knows a lot more about necromancy than Luke and seems to know what she s doing, but can she be trusted? As Luke is drawn into a spiral of ever more dangerous favors, he finds himself not only summoning the deadliest members of his father s Host, but returning to Deadside in a terrifying quest to save what he holds dearest or die trying."
