✦ Synopsis


Would you sacrifice your sight to see the unknown? What if it meant saving the life of your only child?

In EYES TO SEE Joseph Nassise, internationally bestselling author of the Templar Chronicles and Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of Riverwatch , takes readers on a nightmarish trip through the streets of Boston as a man desperate to find his daughter turns to the paranormal for help--for the dead are everywhere...

Jeremiah Hunt's life has fallen apart in the months since his daughter's disappearance. Once a happily married and respected Harvard classics professor, Hunt's obsessive search for his daughter Elizabeth has cost him his job, wife and reputation. In a last desperate attempt to discover Elizabeth's fate, Hunt performs an arcane ritual that robs him of his eyesight in order to see "that which is unseen". Now, he can see what others cannot: ghosts and other pernicious creatures of the night. Using his new gift, Hunt embarks on a strange new career and begins to earn a meager living by chasing away the wayward spirits that torment the living.

With the help of his ghostly companions, Whisper and Scream, he searches for clues to Elizabeth's fate... until he falls into a trap laid for him by a particularly cunning foe and winds up accused of committing a series of brutal murders. What begins as a quest to save his daughter turns into a desperate search for truth. But his search will lead him to an all-consuming battle against an ageless, malevolent force that would use a father's love for his daughter to set itself free. If Hunt can't stop it, his adversary's terrible revenge will destroy him, Elizabeth, and countless other innocents.

A rich tale full of terrifying moments, engaging fantasy and deep emotion EYES TO SEE is ground-breaking urban fantasy that charts daring new territory in the field.

Review

"I couldn't stop reading -- will have you leaving the lights on when you go to sleep." --USA Today bestselling author Carrie Vaughn

β€œBrings urban fantasy to a new level. Heartbreaking, deeply insightful, powerful, and genuinely thrilling. Joe Nassise has just raised the bar for the whole genre.” β€”Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestseller of The Dragon Factory

β€œA great read and unlike almost anything else I’ve read in urban fantasy: It’s hard-boiled and dark, definitely its own beast. Damn, this man can write! I’ll be standing in line for book two.” β€”Kat Richardson, bestselling author of the Greywalker series

"Gritty, grim, yet surprisingly personal and poetic, Eyes to See is like nothing else in its field. Make time for this one." β€”Seanan McGuire, NY Times bestselling author of October Days

β€œAt lastβ€”something new under the urban fantasy moon. Nassise's visceral prose and dark, gritty settings propel the blind Hunt and his unique ghostly companions, Whisper and Scream, through an urban nightmare where nothing is what it seems.” β€”F. Paul Wilson, NY Times beselling author

β€œJoe Nassise's driven, sardonic hero Jeremiah Hunt sees a whole lot more than dead people in Eyes to See. Vividly set in Boston, the novel follows Hunt through a labyrinth of undead dangers and unexpected emotion as he seeks his missing daughter and finds an unearthly serial killer. The climax, both thrilling and moving, will stick with you.” β€”Alex Bledsoe, author of The Girls with Games of Blood and Burn Me Deadly

From the Inside Flap
