Two years have passed since Tai and her siblings joined a group of travelling phantom hunters, and she's fitting in better than imagined. As Tai lets her guard down and leaves her old ghost-slaying methods behind, though, she discovers clues about an evil more devastating than the most powerful otherworldly demon, more dangerous than the family curse that still haunts her. Hunter training intensifies in step with feverish plans for the annual New Year celebration. But with all the distractions--ghosts, taverns, parties, and competition--who will be left to pick up the pieces in the new year?
