Lily Harper narrowly survived her first mission as a Soul Retriever in the first level of the Underground City. After that harrowing trip, she wants nothing more than some downtime, but as with most things involving the afterlife, nothing ever quite works out the way Lily wants it to. Her newest mission will see her traveling to the sewer aqueduct of the Underground City and later, the prison.

And quite possibly unluckily for her, she’s also got her guardian angel, Bill, who’s up to his old, foul-mouthed antics.

Although my guardian angel, Bill, is by my side every step of the way, Bill isn’t much of a consolation when it comes to fighting things that go bump in the night. Instead, I’d much prefer to rely on the brawn and brains of the two thousand year old Celtic warrior, Tallis Black.

I think I've seen it all, but life continues to spring surprises. The latest shocker? I've just been crowned queen of the underworld. Yeah, me. I may possess a rare gift for reanimating the dead, but I don't know the first thing about governing disparate factions of supernatural creatures. I mean, I can barely maintain order in my own chaotic personal life, which is heading into a romantic tailspin.

I’ve returned to London with my proverbial tail between my legs. After the death of my beloved husband, I took my broken heart and retreated to Paris, where I’ve been living for the last year.

After I purposely botch my leader’s attack on Jolie, I find myself returned to my old life, a life I thought I’d wanted. But the adage, “be careful what you wish for, because you might get it” will take on new meaning once I find myself playing hostage to my own people.

After returning to Woodfall Gath and Nicolo learning the truth about what I am and what I was sent to the Gath to do, I find myself in a grave situation. "Grave" as in I’m being sent to the castle dungeons where I’ll be left to rot. Or worse.

But after spending months with Jolie, I can’t deny the fact that I genuinely care for my sister, even though I shouldn’t. If it weren’t maddening enough that my relationship with Jolie is anything but black and white, then there’s Sinjin.

I’m still stuck playing the part of prisoner to my sister. But that’s not the worst of it. That title is reserved for my keeper…Sinjin Sinclair.
