As the local coroner, Edwina Sharp had always been the one to tell the stories of the dead. When the dead rise on her table their story becomes a living nightmare. Everything she holds dear slips through her fingers, forcing Edwina to make a choice that will change her life forever.

In the wake of this nightmare Edwina discovers the prophets—ancient creatures that bestow incredible powers on chosen humans, known as threadbearers. Armed with abilities beyond her imagination, she must confront spirit-stealing demons and mend the fraying Fabric of Reality. But to save both worlds, Edwina will have to face the greatest demons of all: those within herself.
