Description

A girl with the power to move between life and death must travel into the afterlife to save her grandmother – but to survive, she’ll have to rely on her mortal enemy, as well as the ghost of the boy who once betrayed her – in this romantic, lush fantasy inspired by Wuthering Heights.

What is dead can die again.

When Jia Yi suddenly finds herself alive again after being stabbed through the heart by an enemy’s sword, she realizes she possesses a rare power: the ability to move between the living realm and the mysterious, shrouded world of ghosts. Including the spirit of Lin, her ex-best friend and the love of her life, who betrayed her horribly before disappearing for good.

At first, Jia wants nothing more than to leave the past where it belongs – especially after Lin's ghost nearly kills her during their first encounter. Until her beloved grandmother abruptly passes away, and Jia learns her one chance at saving her might lie with a legendary artifact rumored to be hidden somewhere in the afterlife.

To rescue her grandmother, Jia must traverse the treacherous layers of the death realm, all while navigating her complicated feelings for Lin. But there are others searching for the artifact, too – people such as Essien Lancaster, the young prince of a rival kingdom, and Jia's longtime enemy.

Jia will need the help of both Essien and Lin if she wants to survive the afterlife. Only, she isn't sure whether she can trust either of them. With tensions high and new and old connections blooming, Jia must confront the ghosts of her past … or risk becoming one herself.

A girl with the power to move between life and death must travel into the afterlife to save her grandmother – but to survive, she’ll have to rely on her mortal enemy, as well as the ghost of the boy...
