SOME MEN CAN NEVER OUTRUN THEIR GHOSTS.

Life is perilous for Narin. His lover Kine is about to give birth, after which her husband will have her killed. She can take care of herself, but the child will need a protector - and Narin will die if he attempts to intervene.

Enchei thought he'd found a home at last - a life of quiet obscurity far removed from the horror of his military days. He once swore he'd take his own life rather than let his past catch up with him, but now there is more than his secrecy in the balance.

It is the worst possible time for a nightmare to be unleashed on the Imperial City. Demons,rogue mages and vengeful noblemen haunt the city and again Narin, Enchei and their friends find themselves thrown into the middle of a terrifyingly dangerous game.

And a man's ghosts are always watching and waiting . . .
