Students disappearing at an alarming rate. Rumors of a mysterious necromancer. Something is seriously amiss in Michael's neck of the woods. The Elves have chosen to ignore the problem, so it falls to Michael to look into it. Hidden in the heart of the forest is a foe more powerful than anything he's ever faced. And when Michael finds him, the unthinkable happens. Now Michael must race to lift the veil of deception and expose the enemy's true nature, all while keeping a headstrong werewolf pup named Olivia out of trouble. In a case where nothing is what it seems, Michael could sure use Sheila's investigative skills. But for that, the journalist would have to return his calls. Contains mature themes.
