Island of Glass and Ashes

A volcanic island of black sand beaches harbors a terrible secret: a hidden evil guarded by the walking dead.


Suspected of witchcraft by the crew of the merchant ship, Marsiti and Hidayat are left stranded and must face a powerful sorcerer and his undead servants.


Two stories of ill-fated love and a dark temple high on the slopes of a volcano hold the keys to an ancient curse--but Marsiti's magic may not be enough to defeat the forces trapped on the island.


The third book in the Malay Mysteries series, Island of Glass and Ashes follows the continuing adventures of the herbalist Marsiti and schoolteacher Hidayat in their unlikely alliance as traveling ghost hunters, and reveals more of Marsiti's mysterious past.
