What this book is about
The second Nightrunner novel follows Alec and Seregil as they investigate necromantic activity and discover a threat larger than anything they've faced — a ritual that would give a necromancer god-like power. Flewelling's fantasy features a central gay partnership treated with matter-of-fact dignity.
