People will have to suffer the consequences of what Marcus has done, and what Eleanor, Oliver, and the Spirit-Hunters will do to stop all this deadly chaos. It will take all of Eleanor's powers of black magic, and all of Daniel's and Joseph's trust, to succeed. Because Allison, her friend from Philadelphia, has tagged along, becoming strangely entangled in Eleanor's mission. But to do so, she must navigate the hot desert streets of nineteenth-century Egypt amid the rising Dead, her unresolved feelings for Daniel, and her volatile relationships with Joseph and Oliver, her demon. Eleanor is determined not only to get her back but to finally end this nightmare.
And now, Jie is missing-taken by the evil necromancer Marcus.
While the Spirit-Hunters-Joseph, Jie, and Daniel-have helped her survive her brother's violent death and an invasion of Hungry Dead, Eleanor has lost just about everything. It has been a tumultuous time for Eleanor Fitt since life as she knew it in Philadelphia came abruptly to an end. With supernatural forces, epic romance, and a mysterious Egyptian city, Eleanor and her team are set for an adventure they will never forget. (Aug.Perfect for fans of Cassandra Clare's The Infernal Devices series, this is the epic conclusion to Susan Dennard's trilogy that started with Something Strange and Deadly and continued with A Darkness Strange and Lovely. Agent: Joanna Stampfel-Volpe, New Leaf Literary & Media. Blending historical fiction, horror, romance, and mystery, Dennard creates a roaring-and addictive-gothic world. In a swirling, rib-tickling story, Eleanor displays both good sense and the bravery to fight evil and remain free from the tyranny of high society. Meanwhile, Eleanor’s mother is trying to marry her off to wealthy and connected Clarence Wilcox, but feisty Eleanor can’t shake her nagging feelings about him-or about a ragtag Spirit-Hunter genius named Daniel. Looking for answers, she sneaks off to find the Spirit-Hunters, a group of eccentric teenagers, at the 1876 International Centennial Exhibition. As the dead rise and acquaintances are murdered, Eleanor fears for Elijah’s life. Eleanor’s brother, Elijah, never returns home from New York City, instead sending a cryptic letter ripe for deciphering. In this first book in a trilogy, debut author Dennard deftly weaves together a vast plot involving social status, spirits, zombies, necromancy, romance, and pseudoscience. In Victorian-era Philadelphia, 16-year-old Eleanor Fitt worries more about “hungry and dangerous” reanimated corpses than about parasols and corsets.
