>Leena has a secret, one that has haunted her since she was seventeen--she can see the dead. When her brother falls ill, she knows what she must do: seek the Saint.

But Leena's secret is more valuable to him that she could have imagined. To save her brother, she must make a deal with him to find the ghost he's been searching for.

All paths lead to Weavingshaw, a cursed estate on the moors. As Leena grows closer to the Saint, and is plunged into his world of danger, deceit, and desire, she learns that he is hiding his own secrets--ones that have the power to destroy them all.

Three years ago, Leena Al-Sayer awoke with a terrible power.

She can see the dead.

Since then, she has hidden herself away from the world, knowing that if she ever reveals her curse she will be locked up in an asylum.

When her beloved brother, Rami, falls fatally ill, Leena is faced with a terrible choice: Let him die or buy the expensive medicine that will save his life by bartering the only valuable thing she has--her secret.

The Saint of Silence, a ruthless merchant who trades in confessions and is shrouded in unearthly rumors of cruelty and power, accepts her bargain, for a deadly price. Leena must find the ghost of Percival Avon, the last lord of Weavingshaw--or lose her freedom to the Saint forever.

As Leena's search takes her and the Saint to Weavingshaw, she finds the estate and the surrounding moors to be living things--hungry for blood and sacrifice. Fighting against Weavingshaw's might, Leena must also fight her growing pull toward the enigmatic Saint himself, whose connection to Percival Avon remains a mystery.

As the house begins to entomb them, time is running out on their desperate hunt for answers.

For Leena has come to see that here in Weavingshaw, the dead are not hushed--and some secrets are better left buried with them....
