Gaslight, séances, grief, false names, a burned shadow, and something patient waiting on the other side of the door.
Vivienne Grey comforts grieving widows with soft voices and carefully chosen lies. Her real name is Kitty Ward, and she knows the dead are not harmless.
After true mediumship left her bruised, haunted, and watched, Kitty swore never to open herself to the other side again. But when a former patron is found dead in his locked study, his body untouched and his shadow burned into the wall behind him, a priest with dangerous knowledge comes looking for the woman behind the stage name.
To stop the thing that killed him, Kitty must become a medium again.
But something has been waiting for her.
And it knows exactly which voice will make her answer.
