Seanan McGuire's New York Times-bestselling and Hugo Award-nominated InCryptid series continues with a whirlwind adventure....
After four generations of caring for the Price family, Mary Dunlavy has more than earned a break from the ongoing war with the Covenant of St. George. Instead, what she's getting is a new employer in the form of the anima mundi, Earth's living soul made manifest, and a new assignment: to hunt down the Covenant agents on the East Coast and make them stop imprisoning America's ghosts.
All in a day's work for a phantom nanny, even one who'd really rather be teaching her youngest charges how to read.
One ghost can't take on the entire Covenant without backup, which is how she winds up on a road trip with the still-mourning Elsie and the slowly collapsing Arthur, both of whom are reeling in their own way from the loss of their mother. New allies and new enemies await in Worcester, Massachusetts, where the path of the haunting leads.
With the anima mundi demanding results and Mary's newfound freedom at stake, it's down to Mary to make sure that everyone gets out of this adventure alive.
It's been a long afterlife, but Mary Dunlavy's not ready to be exorcised quite yet.

      In the latest installment of McGuire's InCryptid series, Mary Dunlavy, Price family babysitter and former crossroads ghost, has been reassembled by the anima mundi, the spirit of the world which has reappeared since the crossroads were destroyed. It and Mary need to come up with a new arrangement, lest she become a liability to the anima mundi. Mary's family is dealing with the fallout from several previous tales (most recently Aftermarket Afterlife, 2024), and she is willing to work for the anima mundi under one condition: that she is still able to function as a caretaker for the extended Price family. Fortunately, the anima mundi and the Prices want the same thing: get the Covenant out of North America. There are Covenant agents killing ghosts near Boston, and if they're not stopped, the consequences could be dire. Mary brings Elsie, still grieving, and Arthur, questioning his own personhood, along as backup. The stakes are high--not just for the family, but for every cryptid in North America. InCryptid continues to be a satisfying ride, with room for plenty of good times along with the danger; the risks keep climbing, but the payoff promises to be worth it.
