Mortal Rites — Melissa McShane

THE UNDEAD RISE

After finding two items they need to save Alaric's people
from the wizard who enslaves them, Sienne and her companions feel confident
that success is just around the corner. But the quest takes a dark turn when
they learn the next step leads them into the forbidden world of necromancy.

Hired to locate a missing man whose studies in the dark art
could give them what they need, the companions soon discover how deep his
secrets run -- and encounter a creature that may be impossible for them to defeat.

A thrilling tale of life, death, and the shadow world
between.
