#1 New York Times bestselling author pulls from Slavic folklore to explore family, duty, and what it means to be a monster in this sequel to the USA Today bestselling When Among CrowsA funeral. A heist. A mission born of desperation. When someone in Dymitr's family dies, he's called back home for the Empty Night, a funeral rite intended to keep evil at bay. The secret Dymitr is keeping from them makes returning home downright dangerous, but if he wants to get his hands on a book of curses that might appease Baba Jaga's blood lust, he has no choice. And when that same funeral brings ferocious creature-of-legend Niko to town for his own bloody purposes, Dymitr's charade becomes impossible to maintain. Family gatherings can be brutal. Dymitr's might just be fatal.
