Having already lost myself in many of Elaine Corvidae's fantasy books, I was more than ecstatic to read this one. I will admit this is a bit different from her other works I've encountered, but it has shown me the range and talent she possesses. Here we delve into a more mystical world, where things are not as they seem, and a battle quickly ensues against all that is right in nature. As with each book by this author, you are thrust into a new place and era. It's a time where people still remembered when the wizards and natives lived. Where a war was raged using weapons of sorcery sorcery: see incantation; magic; spell; witchcraft.

Gwendith, along with others of her kind, once entered through a portal three-hundred-years earlier, and could never find their way back. She has suffered for years in an asylum, plagued by horrific nightmares, and finally has a chance at freedom. Though in many ways she will never be free. The ghost eater must track down the Enemy and find a way to bring her back, to help his people from the deadly Devourers. They must unite their separate ways and risk everything they know to be true. It is their joint force that furthers the intensity of this story and brings in a lot of turmoil and inner pain. Trust and courage become synonymous to their survival and that of their people. As is the case in many of Elaine Corvidae's books, the women characters are strong and intelligent. Their dialogue is articulate, witty, and often they have a fair amount of fire. We are also treated the more gentle and unknowing side of the ghost eater, now just an entity, one of the undead un·dead adj. No longer living but supernaturally animated, as a zombie. .
