Keira has fought and defeated powerful forces of evil in the past, but now she faces what may be the hardest battle of her life. She\u2019s been targeted by the hired killers of the Artec corporation, which uses dead people to generate cheap electricity, \u201chuman batteries, condemned to writhe and scream and beg, without anyone ever seeing and knowing.\u201d Keira and her friends have recently destroyed one of Artec\u2019s plants and untethered the ghosts who\u2019d been chained up in horrible pain. Living in the town of Blighty, her cottage is hidden in the cemetery, and she has the support of friends Mason and Zoe in her endeavors, but Artec\u2019s getting closer to finding her. A visitor who makes her apprehensive turns out to be a local woman who wants Keira to check her home for ghosts. The place is ghost-free, but in the neglected garden of the house next door she finds ghosts who beg her for help in uncovering their killer, a distraction she must attend to. Keira, Zoe, and Mason\u2019s plans to destroy Artec are aided by Mikhail, an Artec employee who fears for his life because Schaeffer, the ruthless head of the company, is killing off disloyal people, just as he\u2019d killed Keira\u2019s parents. When Mikhail reveals Artec\u2019s new base, a decrepit shopping mall that hides offices buried deep underground, Keira, her friends, and the black cat that lives within her resolve to attack. The result is a horrifying life-and-death battle.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
