If she were, she wouldn't selfishly be risking her sister's soul in a dangerous bid to bring her back to life. She would let Lasya rest in peace--but Kajal cannot stand the horror of living without her. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs Kajal prepares for the resurrection, the worst happens: Her sister's soul warps into a bhuta--a murderous, wraith-like spirit--and Kajal gets sentenced to death for her sister's rampage. There seems little hope of escape until two strangers offer to free her. The catch: She must resurrect the kingdom's fallen crown prince to aid a growing rebellion against a tyrannical usurper. Desperate, Kajal rushes to complete her end of the deal . . . only to discover that the boy she's resurrected, Tav, is \u003ci\u003enot \u003c\/i\u003ethe crown prince. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow Kajal--prickly, proud, admirer of the scientific method--must team up with Tav--stubborn, reticent, and fonder of swords than of books--to find the real crown prince. With only a scalpel and her undead dog, Kutaa, at her side, Kajal must work fast before her mistake is exposed or Lasya's bhuta turns its murderous fury on the person truly responsible for her death: Kajal herself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTara Sim is the author of The Dark Gods trilogy, the Scavenge the Stars duology, and the Timekeeper trilogy.
