Dante the necromancer is the most reviled man in Sabria, indicted by the king, the Temple, and the Camarilla Magica for crimes against the living and the dead. Yet no judgement could be worse than his enemy's cruel vengeance that left him blind. Now Dante must prepare his student, Anne de Vernase, to heal the tear in the Veil between life and death. When Anne abandons him to return to her family, Dante seeks refuge in a magical puzzle. But the puzzle is a seductive trap and threatens to unleash the very cataclysm Dante fears.
