Some wounds don't heal. Some secrets won't die. Deep in the shadow of the Carpathian Mountains, a forgotten asylum hides an artifact of impossible power. When Eliza and Esme Wren are sent by the Aegis Order to investigate strange activity in Romania, they are drawn into the legacy of the Artifact of Arkanos and the Night Doctor-a man revered as a miracle worker and reviled as a monster. His story is one of grief, sacrifice, and a desperate bid to save what he loves most, no matter the cost. The Artifact, an ancient surgical blade, offers the power to mend what's broken, but at a devastating price. When Esme's life is in peril, Eliza will do anything to protect her, but when the Blade calls for her own blood, Eliza must decide how far she's willing to go-and whether some wounds are meant to remain unhealed. Haunted by the past, hunted by the Awakened, and stalked by a Blade that serves no man, the sisters must uncover the truth behind life, death, and the price of tampering with both. The dead are listening. And some of them remember your name. The Night Doctor's Blade is the second book in the Manifest Destiny paranormal thriller series from award-winning, bestselling authors Betsey Kulakowski and JB Caine.
