Summary
"A young detective investigating crimes of the uncanny will learn that bargains can change your fate-for good or ill-in this darkly enthralling fantasy from the New York Times bestselling author of The Others and The Black Jewels series. Words have power. Intentions matter. Most people come to Destiny Park for entertainment. They come to have their cards read to tell them a bit about their future. They come to walk through a beautiful park and to eat in the hotel's restaurant. They come in the hope of catching a glimpse of the Arcana, the paranormal beings who rule the Isle of Wyrd. But some people come to make a bargain with the Arcana-to change their fate. And some people come for dark purposes. When Detective Beth Fahey is sent to Destiny Park to inquire about a "ghost gun," she will begin a strange journey, where she must learn to navigate the Arcana's unforgiving laws and dangerous attractions. Her search will draw her into seemingly impossible cases and the secrets of her own past as tensions rise between the Arcana and their human neighbors across the river. For the Isle of Wyrd is a place where the dead ride trains to their final destinations, predators literally become prey, and seekers' true natures are revealed in the ripples of destiny unknowingly stirred in their wakes. Who will live, who will die-and who will be lost in between?"--
