Spiritual Machines Ii

For a brief instant, Cora felt like she was flying... She turned around and discovered a stranger. He carried an olive complexion against dark hair and impassable green eyes. Actually, his eyes nearly glowed at her.

An ancient evil threatens the future of mankind in Heidi Christiansen's riveting debut, The Wraith Keepers.

Cora St. Claire is lucky to be alive. After a car crash that killed two of her friends, she and her family relocate to a small town in Maine in the hopes of starting over.

She is soon intrigued by her new classmate, Gabriel, whose demeanor is both mysterious and attractive.

But even as she wrestles with her feelings for Gabriel, Cora finds herself repeatedly drawn to the forests bordering the town, which turn out to be nothing but a haven for ghostly wraiths-ancient pagans dabbling in dark magic who were long ago cursed to remain shadowy figures on the fringes of mankind.

Believing he is the only one who can rescue her from the evil that whispers to her from beyond, Cora has no idea that Gabriel, as a wraith keeper, is in fact destined to be her destroyer.
