Description
In the remote town of Cairney, the dead are not truly gone—an Angel of Death’s “gift” allows them to return, but only in ways that deepen grief rather than heal it. Friede Inkerman, the pianist for Cairney’s sacred funerals, has been murdered and resurrected against her will, and she longs for the one mercy she can’t seem to claim: final rest. When Death’s gift is stolen on Allhallowsmas and the guardian acolyte is killed, the dead of Cairney begin to fade, and Friede is forced to confront a chilling truth—her own murder mirrors the crime unfolding now. Racing against the clock with her oldest friend Bastian, she uncovers a town’s worth of devotion, secrets, and supernatural dread, where love can outlast death but never fully escape its cost. Carly Racklin delivers an elegant, wrenching blend of supernatural horror and dark tenderness, exploring themes of mourning, agency, faith, and the thin line between remembrance and oblivion.
