The Deathless

As the Draven family tightens its grip on Ravenholt, Holly Ravenwood struggles to hold her family together through restraint rather than bloodshed. But beneath Gravestone Manor, the dead are losing faith in her leadership.

Lord Ambrose Ravenwood-the legendary Deathless-refuses to remain a spectator. His return to the living world sets in motion a secret conspiracy within the Ravenwood bloodline, with Madison Ravenwood at its heart. Chosen by the High Table and trained in forbidden depths of necromancy, Madison becomes the vessel for something the family has not possessed for centuries: a true heir to Ambrose.

But power has a price.

While the Dravens wage war against everything the Ravenwoods built above ground, the family retreats deeper beneath Ravenholt. There, the birth of Lucius Ravenwood-the Deathless Heir-changes Madison forever. Her growing power begins to consume her mind, forcing Holly to make a decision that will divide the sisters beyond forgiveness.

Years pass. The Dravens rule Ravenholt.

The Ravenwoods wait beneath it.

And behind a locked door in Gravestone Manor, Madison Ravenwood is listening to eight centuries of family history-and learning from every bloody lesson.

By Lucius's sixth birthday, the High Table has made its decision.

All that remains is for someone to leave the door unlocked.
