Now, after a perilous trip through the underworld, Shan and Hwen are reunited?but Hwen is still an intangible spirit of the dead ? incapable of opening a spellbook or even touching his wife.
Their options exhausted, the death-defying Doctors Mirage are about to enact a dangerous spell to restore Hwen?s solid form?and grant his ghost a second life. But, in the wrong hands, their ancient rite will become a tool of terror ? and unleash a force of pure, homicidal evil that lusts for the murder of the living and the dead alike? a torturous death that obliterates not just everything a person ever had in this world, but everything their ghost will be in the next!
