The governor of the sacred island of Korous and his mistress have been killed inside a locked and guarded room. The sole witnesses to the crime--guards who broke down the doors, hearing the screams from within--have gone mad with terror, babbling about ghosts . . . and things worse than ghosts. Dispatched to Korous by the queen, master spies Alec and Seregil find all the excitement and danger they could want--and more. For an ancient evil has been awakened there, a great power that will not rest until it has escaped its otherworldly prison and taken revenge on all that lives. And only those like Alec--who have died and returned to life--can step between the worlds and confront the killer . . . even if it means a second and all too permanent death.

Not a bad book, at all. Back to what Lynn best does, dragorgos and dyrmagnos and dark magic. I give it only 3 stars though because the book is really centered on Klia, Thero and Mika and, as much as I like their characters, I'm here for Seregil and Alec. I missed them during a big part of the book, and that is a big no for me.
Still, good book, great entertainment. I hope she does write more about them in the future, because the nightrunners have been with me for many many years, and it's sad to say goodbye.
