Publisher Description

Call it ritual or cult, if you will. But it is just business... And the dead have long been our commodity.

The Vulkari do not belong within the walls of a city, and Zyntael Fairwinter is no different. So when a perilous quest into the heart of the Old-Reach is planned, Zyntael jumps at the chance to join it.

Together with her closest allies, she embarks on a journey to travel beyond the mysterious "Mortuary-City" of Quaresh—to cut off the source of the Merchant Combine's Necromancy.

But there is a reason they call it the Mortuary-City. Between dangerous arcane rituals, pirate attacks, bar fights, and battles—death lurks at every turn.

And to make matters worse, only a few short moons remain before Zyntael's pup is due.

The intriguing follow-up to Daughter of the Beast blends action and adventure with the turbulence of soon-to-be motherhood, and the ongoing quest for identity—within a richly detailed and uniquely characterised fantasy world.

Sister of the Dead will appeal to both adult and young adult readers, who want their fantasy to balance action, philosophy, and a touch of romance too.

The story tackles themes of belonging, self-worth, and one's place in the world, alongside asking the question: what does a Ratling taste like?
