Dalton Smith believes his shady past is finally behind recently married, a new name and career, and a decisive break from his father — Stoney Cove’s most notorious felon.
“You are a Speaker-with-the-Dead.” A young Asukan woman, seeking justice for her brother’s unsolved murder, accosts Dalton in a local bar, shattering the web of lies he’s crafted to protect himself and the woman he loves.
Beneath the Sunken City — segregated home of Stoney Cove’s Asukan population — the unavenged Dead begin to stir. The savage evidence of their fury forces Dalton out of hiding, back into the world he swore to leave behind.
But before Dalton can challenge Stoney Cove’s demons, he’ll have to confront his own.

About the author
Deven Kane
12 books6 followersDeven Kane plays a mean bass and loves to tell stories. He writes thrillers set in dystopian contexts, and urban fantasy, which he describes as “supernatural thrillers set on another world.”
“Speculative fiction allows me to explore human nature, interpersonal conflicts, the desire to rise above our circumstances, and the obstacles that hold us back,” he says. “No matter the setting—Earth’s near future, the past, or an alien culture on another planet—the most compelling stories are always about our interactions with each other. The good, the bad, the ugly, and our need to transcend.”
His novels include the dystopian Tracker Trilogy (Tracker, Dissident & Scorpion), and the urban fantasies Darkwood and Treehawke.
Deven and his wife live under the watchful supervision of their bemused dog.
