Heart of the Ash Wood
"What becomes of a woman so infected she cannot die?"
"When she is too perpetual to exist even in the hidden realm?"
"What choice does she make with her legacy of bones?"
As a Druid, healer, and warrior, Dr. Ronan Gallagher is no stranger to monstrous evil. He has faced horrors most people could never imagine-and survived them, more often than not. Loss was far from unfamiliar. Before he lost Phoebe Ashburn, though, a woman he loved more than anyone or anything, he hadn't truly understood the meaning of the word. After her death, his only hope was that she was not truly gone but merely ... elsewhere. That she would one day return to him from the Otherworld, fully healed and whole at last. But there are some evils that even death and rebirth cannot ameliorate.
Long before he'd ever met her, Phoebe had been captured by two twisted and power-hungry Wraiths-Malphas and Leviathan, the self-proclaimed "Hounds of Hell." They had tortured her and poured their own vile magic into her very being, and it had quickly taken root, clawing its way deep into her bones, binding her irrevocably to her abusers, and promising to kill her slowly and horribly, over and over again.
But it's not just Phoebe's life-or potential rebirth-hanging in the balance now. With the hungrily creeping tendrils of Wraith power and control expanding far beyond all efforts at containment, threatening to tear the world apart to serve their own nefarious ambitions, Ronan must lead a desperate mission to put an end to their plans before it's too late, carrying with him a single desperate hope: that Phoebe will ultimately prove strong enough to save herself ... and maybe even the world.
