Four years have passed since Kay’s last encounter with the spirits of the Eighth Ward, and her life is spiraling out of control once more. Desperate for guidance and a soul-stirring reunion with Della, her kindred spirit from the past, Kay ventures to Harrisburg’s Lincoln Cemetery to summon her soul-sister.

However, her plans are disrupted when Kayah, the fierce “SOAL” warrior dedicated to preserving the city’s crumbling Black cemetery, intervenes. Kayah calls upon their ancestors to help Kay learn from the past so she can reclaim her future. Will Kay find the strength to course-correct before it’s too late?

Experience the life-affirming power of connecting with your heritage and history in this gripping sequel to Voices of the Eighth.  

Voices of the Eighth, Part III: Hallowed Ground is an unforgettable journey through time and spirit, where the past and present collide again, and the power of community and ancestral wisdom light the path to liberation and hope.
