"Life as an interstate fugitive isn't easy, especially when the dead are closing in on your heels." Jeremiah Hunt sacrificed his sight in an arcane ritual that gave him the power to see the hidden world of ghosts and darker creatures that exist alongside us. In doing so, he uncovered a world of murder and magic that all but cost him his life. Now Hunt is on the run from the FBI, who are convinced he's the mass murderer known as the Reaper. Getting out of town seems like a good idea, so when his companion, Denise Clearwater, a powerful witch, begins have visions of the city of New Orleans under supernatural siege, he's all for checking things out in person and trying to help. But once they arrive, they quickly discover that the situation is far more dangerous than they could have imagined from afar. Not only is New Orleans at risk from a terrifying attack by forces from beyond the grave, but should the city fall, the world itself may very well follow. It's up to Hunt, Clearwater, and their shape-shifting friend, Dmitri Alexandrov, to turn back the army of Death himself before it is too late. King of the Dead, the second book in this groundbreaking series, promises more of Nassise's electrifying writing and seamlessly blends horror, fantasy, and crime fiction into a supernatural thriller that's certain to please.
