Sorcha Faris, the most powerful deacon of the Order, finds herself thrust into an unwanted partnership with a total novice, Merrick Chambers. The Order of the Deacons, stand as protectors of the Empire, guardians against ghost possession, sentinels warding off the malevolent haunting of the geists. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series, Spectyr, which is also available here at the library.The undead are here and only the Deacons stand in their way. And even if they survive Ulrich, where can they go and who can they trust?Īfter my previously mentioned reading dry spell, I was glad to find another good book in Geist.
Together, the three of them are thrust into a conspiracy that spans across the empire. Raed bears a terrible curse: his ancestors made a deal with a geistlord for power in exchange, the geistlord resides within the family’s heir. But rather than facing the inquisition she was expecting, Sorcha finds herself quickly paired up with a new partner and sent out to a small town called Ulrich on a new assignment.Īlso heading to Ulrich is Raed Rossin, Pretender to the throne. To save him, Sorcha is forced to open a portal to the Otherworld, an event which the Order generally frowns upon. The geist attacks her Sensitive husband, something that never happens. Sorcha and her husband are sent on what should be a routine patrol when things go horribly wrong. And Sorcha Faris is the strongest Active Deacon in the Order. The Order sends people out into the field in pairs: the Sensitive Deacon can see the geists, while the Active Deacon is the one who destroys them.
The Order are the people who protect the population from geists, otherworldly spirits who possess the living and generally wreak havoc.
It’s the first book in her series about the Order.
Geist by Philippa Ballantine recently caught my eye.
