In this thrilling sequel to The Hollow and the Haunted, the web of dark magic around two rival families becomes ever more difficult to untangle. Time is running out, and the dead are hungry . . . Gabriel Hawthorne is missing, and Miles Warren--psychic, co-conspirator, and aspiring boyfriend--is terrified. All their efforts so far have failed. The prophecy stands unbroken; if the future remains unchanged, Gabriel will die. Armed with Florence's grimoire, they might stand a chance of breaking the Hawthorne curse and preventing Gabriel's murder--but only if Miles can find him. Meanwhile, Miles's parents are still furious that he's been helping Gabriel at all--and they don't even know the half of it. The mystery of the century-long feud between their two families continues to deepen, but Miles is certain that healing the rift is key to lifting the curse and saving Gabriel's life. Plus, he'd like his parents to give the boy he's maybe, sort-of dating a chance. With new premonitions changing everything and the dark power of the grimoire whispering in their ears, Miles and Gabriel are running out of time. Both their lives are on the line, and danger lives closer to home than they know . . .
