Summary

In Port Astor, a city where fae roads intersect human streets and ghosts interact with the living, paranormal investigators Brix and Bellefeather work to keep restless spirits from overwhelming the city. Bellefeather shares her body with a demon named Belizial, and Brix has trapped the soul of his deceased fiancée in the mortal world. When investigating the haunted Peony Hotel, they encounter a couple caught up in a famous local haunting and uncover connections between their own supernatural experiences and the city's fae history. This dark fantasy novel by A. C. Wise explores themes of faith, fanaticism, doomed love, and magical bargains.
