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 is 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 complicated feelings intensify when she’s reunited in Hell with Bran, the late love of her life, steeped with unresolved passion. While Grim teaches her about the delicate balance between life and death, Bran represents everything she once cherished. 

While they uncover the mysteries of her death together, simmering tensions and unresolved feelings surface, igniting a complicated love triangle amidst the backdrop of Caligo Harbor and its Hellish counterpart. 

When the truth finally emerges from the depths of her past, Seph must choose not only between two men but also what her own mortality truly means, as she navigates a torrent of loss, desire, and the enduring power of love.
