The ghost of Bellhaven wakes once more, and young Ebenether is charged with ending the haunt before it claims another victim--a task made harder by the watchful gaze of his mentor and hero, Belar Tomerian.

Belar has made lying into an art form. His neighbors know him as a mild mannered music teacher, but to his fellow monster hunters he’s a senior agent with one of the best track records in the organization. To Cassian, he's the hunter who tried to kill him twice already.

Luckily, Cassian isn’t interested in holding a grudge. Instead, he hires Belar to find who in vampire society wants him dead--a search that leads them through a world of ancient vampires, monsters of pure shadow, and an ever-deepening relationship.
