With her brother dead and her mother unwell, Eleanor Fitt is alone. Even the Spirit-Hunters—Joseph, Jie, and the handsome Daniel—have fled to Paris. So when Eleanor hears the vicious barking of hounds and sees haunting yellow eyes, she fears the Dead, and the necromancer Marcus, are after her.

To escape, Eleanor boards a steamer bound for France. There, she meets Oliver, a young man who claims to have known her brother. But Oliver harbors a dangerous secret involving necromancy and black magic that entices Eleanor. If she can resist him, she'll be fine.

When she arrives in Paris, she finds a whole new evil lurking—forcing her to make a deadly decision that will go against everything for which the Spirit-Hunters stand.

In Paris, there's a price for this darkness strange and lovely, and it may have Eleanor paying with her life.
