Aisling Grimlock has a lot going on. Her boyfriend is keeping a secret … with her brother. She's finally on her own collecting souls for the family reaping business. Oh, and her mother is back from the dead and may be eating people to keep herself alive. When trouble comes knocking and someone Aisling adores is left injured in the crossfire, she's out for blood and vengeance. Her brothers want to believe their mother is telling the truth – and part of Aisling does, too – but protecting those she loves is more important than buried memories. Griffin vows to stand by Aisling, but he's out of his element and worried the weight of the world may drag her down. He fears he doesn't have the strength to stop it. Aisling wants the truth, and she's willing to fight to get it. Sometimes a good lie is better than a bad truth, though, and Aisling might not like what she finds at the end of memory lane. The final fight is between good and evil, but who will end up on what side?
