But when their motherās restless spirit appears claiming she was poisoned, Signa realizes that the family she depends on could be in grave danger and enlists the help of a surly stable boy to hunt down the killer.

Though heās made her life a living hell, Death shows Signa that their growing connection may be more powerfulāand more irresistibleāthan she ever dared imagine.
