Sorcha Faris, the most powerful deacon of the Order, finds herself thrust into an unwanted partnership with a total novice, Merrick Chambers. That's bad enough, but when they are dispatched to an isolated village to counter a surge of violent geist activity, they find their fate bound with Raed Rossin. Shapeshifter and Pretender to the Imperial throne he bears a terrible curse which endangers them all.

As they investigate, the strange settlement is reveled to be haunted by a undead creature more predatory and horrifying than any encountered before. Together they quest to uncover the mystery of twisted rituals passed down through the dark reaches of history intent on striking at the heart of the Empire.

Can three powerful and troubled people discover a way to work together to save the citizens and themselves?

3.5 I was drawn to this series by the beautiful covers. I wasn't disappointed, but Geist could've been so much more. The story and world are very intriguing, I didn't find much fault there. If the story had a weakness it was that the book may have been too late in where it started you off. I felt a bit lost trying to keep up with the characters and the breadcrumbs of plot that were scattered about. For me, the issue was in the writing itself. It was mostly solid, but the narration got a bit tangled and certain details were brought up again and again. (ie. Sorcha's bronze hair.) Also maybe its a matter of taste, but I found the labels the characters were given or even when characters were referred to as "the woman" well beyond their initial introduction was just plain weird. Anyway, I really did enjoy the story and will continue with the series. I do hope that they will be tighter in construction, though.
