Cursed with the ability to see the dead, Willow is finding it impossible to live the normal life she's always wished for. A war is evolving in the Underworld. The Criscerean are forming an army and the Shadow Wards are the world's only hope. Willow finds herself paired with an unlikely partner. A half minotaur warrior with a cloudy past and a chip on his shoulder. The pair embark on a mission through the Underworld in search of the runes that will restore the power to the Shadow Wards. But the Criscerean are searching for the runes as well, and Willow must work together with her new partner to find them first-or the world will suffer the consequences.
