"...we are all Death’s pupils, we practitioners—students of the great healer."

When magic broke free in my blood, I chose to follow our ancient family path and become a practitioner. I'm learning to heal, and to protect innocents. I dip into minds, stalk vampires, and set wards by the light of the moon. I can hear the children of the night calling.

But there are other families...and other paths. Families with twisted ambitions and frightening powers. On the frontier, folk whisper that one clan is the most dangerous of all.

Chief among those dark sorcerers is a man known as the Keeper of Souls.

And now he wants to keep mine.

Reviews:

—Jane Yolen, the award-winning author of Briar Rose

"It is good to see this back--the Alfreda stories are one of the reasons YA is so dynamic today. ...Little House on the Prairie meets Harry Potter, with a dash of Stephen King."
—Sherwood Smith, author of Crown Duel

"charming...unusual...delightful...definitely worth checking out"
—Locus Magazine

"This is one of the best historical dark fantasies I’ve ever read. ...If you’ve not read any of Katharine Eliska Kimbriel’s books yet, what’s stopping you?"
