For Dubric Byerly, aging head of security at Castle Faldorrah, saving lives has become a matter of saving his sanity.
A silent, unseen killer stalks his castle, mutilating servant girls while leaving no clues or witnesses-only the gruesome ghosts of the victims.
Ghosts only Dubric can see.
Caught in the grisly tangle is Nella, a linen maid working to free herself from a tortured past-if she can survive the invisible killer and pay off her debt to Lord Risley Romlin, grandson of the King and Du.
