While away on an undercover mission, Undertaker Will Ritter has made an unthinkable alliance...with a Corpse! But though Robert Dillin (aka 'The Zombie Prince') is indeed one of those alien invaders who animate and possess the bodies of the dead -- unlike the rest of his kind, Dillin isn't evil. In fact, he wants to help. And Will needs that help, because the Queen of the Dead has learned the location of Haven, the Undertakers' secret HQ, and is planning a massive and deadly assault.
With the last day of the Corpse War finally upon them, Will and his friends find themselves in a desperate race to close the Rift between worlds and forever kill the Corpses. But can they do before Haven is overrun?
For that matter, can they do it at all?

EXCERPT
A moment later, the door opened and two minions came in, each carrying a red metal toolbox. At Lilith’s instruction, they placed their burdens side-by-side on the throw rug at Parker’s feet.
“Do you know what those are?” the Queen asked Parker, motioning with one purple, shriveled hand at the two red toolboxes.
“Yes, ma’am,” he replied. “May I ask a question?”
“You may.”
“How were you able to bring two of them across the Void?”
“With considerable difficulty and cost of Malum life,” Lilith replied. “I had intended them for the assault on Haven, and I’m confident we’ll be making good use of their peculiar talents for that very task … later on. But for now, Parker, you may employ them in your hunt for Dillin and the children. Their Selves, such as they are, will be keyed to your command.”
“Yes, ma’am,” Parker said.
“May I ask a question, Ms. Cavanaugh?” This time it was Cole who spoke.
She studied him. “You may.”
“If Haven is truly so secret, how will you discover its location?”
The Queen of the Dead smiled a smile that, had there been any humans present, would have caused their hearts to burst with fear. “Why, I already know it, Cole,” she replied. “I know exactly where those brats are hiding!”
