Spells for the Dead by Faith Hunter immerses readers in a world where Nell Ingram faces a dark magic with no known origin in the newest pulse-pounding paranormal procedural from the New York Times bestselling Soulwood series.

Nell is a rookie PsyLED agent, leveraging the powers she channels from deep within the earth to solve paranormal crimes. Alongside her team, she has confronted the most dire magic and twisted foes. Yet, for her latest case, she must draw upon every ounce of power she possesses.

Summoned to a country music star's mansion in Tennessee, Nell encounters a chilling sceneβ€”dead bodies decomposing rapidly before everyone’s eyes. The team’s witch, T. Laine, has never witnessed a magic capable of stealing life forces in such a manner. With a lethal killer on the loose, PsyLED must act quickly.

The urgency mounts when a paranormal-hating FBI agent attempts to sabotage the investigation. As the sinister magics spiral out of control, Nell and her team find themselves besieged from all directions.
