A young refugee who can see the dead must fight for a place to belong—both in life and in love—in the second book of the “darkly romantic and completely absorbing” (The New York Times) slow-burn gothic fantasy romance trilogy that began with Weavingshaw.

Leena Al-Sayer is trapped in the demon world with a dying Bram St. Silas.  

But Leena is nothing if not resourceful—and determined. Being a stranger in a strange land is far from a new experience, and she is ready to do anything to save the life of the man she has grown to love.  

Yet the deadly forces of the Wake are after her. For she and Bram now possess the red diary of the Avons—the artifact the Wake have been desperately seeking. Within its pages lies the key to the location of a powerful object: one that will let demons move freely between their realm and the human world—and will enable Leena to break Bram free of his lifetime indenture. With enemies closing in, Leena and Bram must do everything in their power to find the object before the Wake—or risk watching their entire world fall into ruin.
