In Auremark the dead do not lie, and the House of Last Light is the one power that can wake them, and upon that single certainty the whole realm has laid its justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen she is called to a locked room where a murdered woman will not answer. The dead woman's three truths have already been drawn out of her and stolen, by a hand that should not exist, and folded into a hollow in the wall is her daughter: a silent child of six who hears the dead as easily as breathing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo keep the girl, Minoe follows a trail of emptied graves out of the city and into the black marsh country, a skeptical crown's Serjeant at her side and a patient, unhurried man walking the roads ahead of her. For the child is what he has come to collect.
