Between life and death are the Death Bringers. Neither demon nor angel their existence is only to lead humans to their death. They whisper in the ear, guide the hand of the murderer. It is by them that death comes. For every man, woman, child and animal there is a Death Bringer. Unknown to humans, reviled by the creatures of the Under. We are the ones who guide the hand in murder, suicide and all matters of death. In search of the Death Bringers, Fáelán discovers a truth within himself that could evoke the end of humanity. Now he must either embrace what he is, or bring Death to its knees. Left behind by those he is forbidden to follow, Fáelán is compelled to find his own kind in the sequel to Kickshaw Candies.
