Jo Wiley runs a punk rock teahouse in the heart of the Slovenian capital and keeps her string of friends with benefits on a tight schedule. The one thing she hasn’t made time for on her calendar is saving the world.
When the body of one of Jo’s lovers is discovered among ancient Roman ruins, a curtain is drawn back on a hidden world of ghosts, demons, and forgotten gods where Jo is the link between the living and the dead.
Archeologists digging through two thousand years of history can awaken more than an interest in a city’s past. A dark presence that had laid hidden beneath Ljubljana’s streets has a long memory and a keen interest in Jo.
As more bodies turn up, it becomes clear it’s going to take more than Jo’s characteristic snark and her new ability to chat with ghosts to keep an ancient evil from being unleashed on the world.

Jo Wiley can talk to the dead. As fascinating as that may be, she would much rather go back to her old life of slinging tea and making fancy sandwiches. A month in a secluded farmhouse in the Slovenian Alps is exactly what she needs to hide out from both her personal demons and the dead who haunt her in Ljubljana.
What she gets is a secretive local ghost and a visit from an ex-lover who is nothing but bad news—bad news Jo is going to have to deal with immediately.
Her appearance as a new Voice of the Dead, has reignited an old war between ancient gods with human faces and humans who wish to be as powerful as the gods. Jo and her son are right on the battle lines and who their allies are has become very unclear.
Jo soon realizes her role in this war is more determined than she’d ever imagined and that she may have to make the ultimate sacrifice to save those she loves most.

There’s no handbook for being a Voice of the Dead, but one rule of existing behind the Veil is keeping a low profile. Jo Wiley is really bad at keeping quiet.
Her mother is dying—for real this time—and even though there’s no love lost between them, Jo feels duty bound to go home and see her mother off to the next world. She would much rather be in Ljubljana where she can keep an eye on her son and a certain former priest.
With Jo away, her friends are left to deal with Bettine, a member of the Board sworn to keep the supernatural hidden, who has announced a visit to investigate the events of the past year. Her presence threatens to bring the full power of the Board down on everyone associated with Renegade Tea.
Jo returns to Ljubljana to discover it wasn’t just her family keeping secrets. With her world ripped apart, she has to rely on her ex and her anger to keep Bettine and the Board from destroying everything she has left.
