Overview
Lane didn't know what she thought the afterlife would be, but she certainly hadn't expected to be a student of the elite Magistrate Academy, performing death magic, chasing down ghosts, and protecting After Life against witches. All for a second chance at life. Shepherd may be an unwitch, but she's not going to sit idly by while her sister, Addie, is missing. Witch or not, she's still one of the most notorious dealers at the Night Market, and she's going to use every resource at her disposal to find her powerful sister. When ghosts start turning into shades, their souls dying, Lane is left with all the blame... and with a curious key that seems to be made of bone. And it turns out the sarcastic, witch-affiliated Shepherd has a key too-Addie's. Lane is forced to team up with Shepherd to clear her name, and in exchange, she'll help find Shepherd's sister. But as they investigate the shades and trace Addie's steps, the two unknowingly stumble upon a secret even bigger than their own-so big that it might be the end of Life as they know it. In her stunning debut, Kate Gray Glass crafts a sapphic tale of life versus death, lies versus the truth, and the powerful versus the powerless that will have readers hungry for more.
