  A child lost. A destiny sealed. A necromancer unleashed. 
  It's been three years since Damian failed Vicky. Three years she's clung to existence as something not quite alive, but far from dead. While the path before her darkens, Vicky battles to spread light and hope through a tortured world. 
  But now the Destroyer has come to claim her ... and Damian can’t fail her again. 
  Aided by his closest allies, he journeys into a realm of fire and death. There, the dead sail upon a ship of bone, and demons stalk their every move. Knowing Vicky’s fate lies in the Burning Lands, Damian must face the flames of war for a chance to save the little girl lost, or risk the end of all things.

The novella is a significant part of the Victorian tradition of horror fiction. (Summary from Wikipedia)
