Lenore Locke is just a municipal bone-mason, spending her days in the sprawling catacombs patching the failing foundations with grave-salt mortar. Haunted by her sister's drowning, she keeps her head down and obeys the magistrates. Until she breaches a hidden wedding crypt and uncovers Draven Darkmoor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDraven is a reliquary bridegroom, a terrifyingly beautiful nobleman grafted with monstrous traits and sealed in a silver cradle decades ago to pacify the city's beast.
