説明
人類死後成為靈魂,流連於世界各處,「靈視者」則是能接觸、甚至操控靈魂的存在。表面上,政府嚴格控管靈視者,一經逮捕便會被處死,實則與利菲特族簽訂協議,將所捕捉的靈視者進貢給對方,以消滅越界的殘暴惡靈,十年一次的貢獻祭即名為「骸骨季節」。
在利菲特族長未婚夫奧古雷斯及幫派成員的協助之下,佩姬順利逃離第一冥府,重返人界。她曾發誓救出所有人類,最終卻只帶回了二十二人,奧古雷斯甚至為了復仇而留下斷後。
人類的世界,危險程度並不亞於第一冥府:倖存者一一無故失蹤;賽昂政府研發的新型器具將能大規模捕捉靈視者;靈視者間的權力角逐更是暗潮洶湧;而佩姬本人,則成為倫敦的頭號通緝犯──
利菲特族與賽昂政府的謀劃緩緩浮上檯面,身為最稀有的夢行者,佩姬再無退路,決定為靈視者挺身而出。她與奧古雷斯被迫分隔兩地,在困難重重的道路上往各自的目標前進,直到真正的命運揭曉……

レビュー
すべて表示I leapt into this book after reading the first, but I have had a busy time lately and I've only just finished the book. it's a slow burn book, in both plot and the relationship between Paige and Warden.I felt that this book was easier to understand the clairvoyant world, but once or twice I would highlight and search up a clairvoyant name to understand what type they were.The world building that the books set in creates a vicious place most of the time, when Paige was out and about in , I read it with a slight anxiety to whether she would be betrayed or caught by Scion.London was never a City I liked to visit (I don't like any city really) but I can definitely imagine the unnatural Assembly thriving living in and around the amaurotics (the unsighted or normal humans)one of the most vivid descriptions of despair was the area of bermondsey, where the Vile Augers are banished... was one of the areas that when reading the paragraphs, the despair and depression was so vivid in my imagination. overall this book built up the tension of what Paige is trying to achieve, and at the end, I thought maybe she would have a chance... but after reading the end and the prelude of 'A Song Rising' , I have no clue what the author is planning...I'm going to get book 3 and see 🫣
