The Shifting Labyrinth

**The monster is dead. But the city itself is now bleeding ghosts.**

Alistair Finch, the disgraced detective, and Eleanor Ashworth, the psychic heiress, have survived their war with the Ebon Hand. They have faced down a would-be god and shattered the leadership of the ancient cult. Now, in the gilded cage of a Regent's Park villa, they seek a fragile peace. But their victory came at a catastrophic cost. In destroying their enemy, they broke the Shifting Labyrinth, an ancient magical ward that maintained the psychic stability of London itself.

Now, reality is fraying at the edges. The city's historical traumas are bleeding into the present, causing waves of madness and inexplicable phenomena. To save London from its own ghosts, Alistair and Eleanor must become psychic healers, confronting the city's deepest scars with the only weapon they have left: a desperate, defiant empathy.

But the remnants of the Ebon Hand are not entirely gone. A new leader, the ruthless necromancer Chastain, is rising from the ashes. A profane scientist obsessed with the mysteries of the flesh, Chastain sees Alistair and Eleanor not as enemies to be destroyed, but as a puzzle to be dissected. As they race to heal the city, they are hunted by a new, more intelligent monster who wishes to place them on his operating table.
