   Summary

   Essek Thelyss dies.

   Years later, Caleb continues to see him — in the study, in the bedroom, beneath the apple trees. For some time, he’s convinced these are nothing more than hallucinations. Wouldn’t be his first. But hallucinations don’t scare the cats. Hallucinations don’t leave scars on his chest. And the more twisted this visage of Essek becomes, the clearer it is that he needs Caleb’s help, now more than ever.
