A quiet farmhouse on the plains becomes the site of a brutal double murder that only a newborn survives. His aunt, Devaleen Arcose arrives to claim the child. She is a mysterious, powerful, and feared woman even by those who know her best. Devaleen discovers Adam is no ordinary child. From his first breath, he carries a gift that would unsettle the living and transform the dead. As Devaleen shields him from a world of hunters, secrets, and ancient magic, Adam's power awakens. He has the ability to restore spirits, ignite them with new strength, or banish them forever. As with many such gifts, his comes with a cost. Shadows stir, allies and enemies converge, and the boy who should have been lost to violence may instead become the key to a struggle older than memory itself. Blending Gothic horror with dark fantasy, Raised by the Dead is a tale of vengeance, magic, and the thin line between salvation and damnation.
