Seph Hale returns to her hometown of Caligo Harbor after her mother’s sudden death with a single suitcase, her cat, and the intention of clearing out her childhood home. But impetus comes in the form of Grim. Her ability to see him confirms a harsh truth: she’s dead, too.
Only—she has no memory of dying.
With her fractured soul already beginning to unravel—a fate delayed only by binding it to someone already tied to the afterlife—Seph desperately pleads with Grim for one final mercy: bind their souls together before hers is lost forever.
As Seph forges a reluctant partnership with Grim, she finds herself unexpectedly drawn to him. However, her feelings only complicate when she’s reunited in the underworld with Bran, the late love of her life, whose presence remains steeped with unresolved passion. While Grim teaches her about the delicate balance between life and death, Bran represents everything she left behind.
Together, three of them dig into the mystery of Seph’s death. Tensions flare, and old wounds tear open, twisting their tether into a dangerous, undeniable triangle set against Caligo Harbor and its Hellish reflection.
When the truth finally claws its way out of the depths of Seph’s past, she must decide what love can demand, what grief can consume, and whether a soul already marked by death can still choose its own ending.
