Overview

When the family business is death, how does one help a spirit find the love they lost who’s already on the other side to keep them from doing harm to those on this side?

Keir Dearly, the owner and sole proprietor of Dearly & Son Funeral Home, and his husband, Dashiell Clegg-Dearly, are expecting a bundle of joy near Christmas! When their surrogate is suddenly kidnapped with the baby in tow, both men are frantic to get them back, but can they adequately protect them with the upcoming battle for the Human Realm?

Keir and Dash—who continues to evolve in powers and strength as he prepares for the fight of his life while ridding the underworld of the evil demon, Nyx—learn how to break the spell that was cast over Keir’s family many generations ago. However, it’s not as straight-forward as they’d hoped. With the battle drawing near, all they can do is wait, and isn’t that the hardest part of any anticipated event?

Enter Lorraine Joly. Lorraine has been roaming the universe in search of her true love, Claude, whom she lost in France in the seventeenth century. Her spirit has chased Claude’s through the centuries as he is reincarnated, and now she’s convinced that Keir is living the latest of Claude’s many lives. Is it a coincidence that Lorraine died in Normandy, France, where all the trouble started for Keir’s family due to the actions of one of his ancestors, Henri, who sacrificed the heart of an evil woman for the love of a man?

Keir and Dash continue to piece together the puzzle of their destiny as the final battle brews. It's time for the Gatekeeper and the Key to fight for the future of all mankind. When the smoke clears, what will their world look like?
