A Light for the Dead to Follow

While on the run from the king’s guards, Éolina Halkin takes shelter in an ancient and abandoned underground city. She expects to find dark corners and hidden dangers. What she doesn’t expect is to find a mountain full of dead bodies. Nor does she expect ten of those dead bodies to suddenly come back to life and offer her aid in her hour of need.

The ten no-longer-dead knights are just as intrigued by her as she is by them. Nor are the knights human. They are ælfren – immortals from another realm, killed by their own queen during a war that ended centuries ago. And they are as unwelcome in their homeland as Éolina is in hers.

Seeking answers about their return from the land of the dead, and the reasons Éolina’s king is so intent upon killing her, the knights take Éolina into their company and venture towards their former realm. But learning the truth is just the first of many problems – and those hunting Éolina will not stop until she is dead and the knights sent back to the tomb from which they awakened.
