Ethan Shaw a forensic anthropologist and his father Dr. We are introduced to a cast of eccentric characters who live and haunt the cemeteries and homes of Charleston. But not all ghosts are so easily convinced and one in particular is willing to disrupt and haunt Amelia for as long as it takes. But it is through Amelia’s search, that she soon realizes that Robert’s murder and the death of Devlin’s wife and daughter are connected and it is up to Amelia to solve the case, and allow Devlin’s hauntings a peaceful retreat. And Robert needs Amelia’s help to solve his murder and cross-over. Her sanctuary was her protection and now the ghosts are able to make contact. But when Robert Fremont (aka The Prophet), the murdered police officer, is able to cross onto the hallowed grounds where Amelia lives she knows she now has a much bigger problem. But Devlin is haunted by guilt and the ghosts of his deceased wife and daughter, and it is through these associated hauntings that Devlin has inadvertently released the spirits that continue to draw on Amelia’s life force.

He does not understand why Amelia has pushed him away.

John Devlin is a police officer and Amelia’s ex-lover. But there are some who continue to be earthbound-beyond their control-when a lover or family member refuses to let go. The ghosts are drawn through the veil (The Gray) by a hunger for human warmth or a desire to rejoin the living. But these ghosts have a history-one is the young daughter (Shani) of her ex-lover and the other is a cop murdered in one of the cemeteries that Amelia was restoring-and somehow these two ghosts were haunting Amelia for her help. With her ability to see and speak to ghosts, Amelia dismisses her father’s warning and inadvertently acknowledges a couple of ghosts who’s spirits have refused to move on. Amelia Gray is a caulbearer-born behind the veil in the Gray-the place between the Light and the Dark. THE PROPHET is the third instalment (April 2012) in The Graveyard Queen paranormal series by Amanda Stevens. In order to protect myself from the parasitic nature of the dead, I’ve always held fast to the rules passed down from my father. I am a cemetery restorer who sees ghosts. Never associate with those who are haunted. THE PROPHET (The Graveyard Queen #3) by Amanda Stevens
