Charlotte Hastings has been wary of Otto’s priests all her life. She blames them for toying with forces beyond their ken when one failed to bring her mother back from the dead. Now a grown woman she has a pretty typical life, she’s a pediatric phlebotomist at a local hospital and works beside her best friend Maria. Her hometown of Stonewick is generally a peaceful, sea side town but the day the necromancer, Michael LaCroix was executed, everything in her world turned upside down.
Demons haven’t been seen in hundreds of years and they suddenly begin popping up all over the world. People are kidnapped at an alarming rate and found to have been sacrificed to an evil god that is supposed to be dead. The world is changing faster than anyone can imagine. Charlotte is able to handle the changes until Brother Felix, a priest of Otto that works at her hospital starts showing some interest in her. He revels she may be the key to peacefully bringing back the dead.
Reluctantly she works with Felix and finds her fear of singing runs much deeper than the phobia she’s lived with her entire life. It doesn’t take long before she can feel herself being drawn to this priest. She fantasizes about what he looks like under the mask, which he never removes and soon it’s clear he feels the same about her. Normally she might run with these feelings, priest or no but she’s dating a man named Kyle. He’s everything she could want in a man, sweet, funny, stable, but she can’t get the priest out of her mind. She struggles with her feelings while the world around her crumbles and she must decide which man to give her heart to before she loses both to a force that the world thought was dead.
