Akaran's story continues in the sequel to the Snowflakes Trilogy! Welcome to Basion City, the oft-avowed "Safest place in the Kingdom." With a broken knee and his ability to use magic stolen from him, Exorcist Akaran DeHawk has been sent to recover at Medias Manor, a sanctuary for those with injuries both physical and not. He thinks he's found a safe haven, but not even his mind offers peace. His nights are plagued by visions of places he's been and things he's slain. The streets are dripping with it, too. As a wedding celebration between nations ramps up, the city is being pushed to the brink of open riots. To make matters worse, a prominent Granalchi Adept has been murdered in a manner so grisly, so brutal, so violent that it could only be the work of a madman. The question is who... or maybe, a better question is what. Akaran is going to have to fight the demons in his mind while trying to unravel a mystery that very few people have an interest in having solved. Otherwise, a dead mage is going to be the start of a celebration that only the dead will remember. The safest place in the Kingdom, to be sure... ...but insanity knows no respite. Welcome to a fantasy world for adults and only adults. Welcome to a world of blood, violence, swords and sorcery. Welcome to the Saga of the Dead Men Walking.
