(4) YA Inside the walled city of Viyara--the only city remaining after the Ruining (a fog that kills the living and raises the dead) has ravaged the world--two powerful families clash over honor and loyalty to kin. Enemies-turned-allies, necromancy, and the undead figure in this multi-pronged, rather overly complicated fantasy. Plot elements are inspired by Romeo and Juliet, although Shakespearean expertise isn't necessary.
