The Phantom Promises (The Headless Chronicles Book 2)

The Headless Horseman has guarded Sleepy Hollow for centuries. Now an army of headless ghosts has come to collect his oldest debt.

Sleepy Hollow survived the Great Pumpkin Shortage.
This Halloween, the dead want something considerably more important.
When a farmer is found dead beside a forgotten burial ground, 168 headless warriors begin rising from beneath the Hollow. They aren’t mindless ghosts. They are the Covenant, an ancient supernatural army with one demand:
A promise made centuries ago must be kept.
For Ichabod Thorne, their arrival brings an even more dangerous temptation. The Covenant offers the Headless Horseman something he has never possessed—an army of his own, power beyond anything the Hollow can give him, and the chance to become the Headless King.
Meanwhile, Cassie Mae Holloway uncovers a secret buried in her own family history. The Holloways weren’t simply among Sleepy Hollow’s founders.
They were the Keepers of the Pact.
Now the Pact is thirty-three years overdue for renewal, the supernatural Union is threatening to remove Ichabod as Guardian, and Halloween is approaching.
By midnight on October 31, Keeper and Guardian must finish what their ancestors began.
Because this time, the dead haven’t returned to haunt Sleepy Hollow.
They’ve returned to collect its oldest debt.
