Like a rose, death follows life with every pedal that wilts. 
 
Have you ever felt misplaced-unseen-like you were caught between realms? 
 
For Heli Rose Horseman, that's not a feeling. It's her reality.
Born of both light and darkness, life and death, Heli exists in the in-between-a rare soul bound to the limbo between the living and the dead. Every passing year reminds her of how little she belongs anywhere, and how tightly the shadow of her father-the Grim Reaper himself-holds her captive. 
 
But everything changes when a misplaced soul drifts into her Forgotten City a year before her hundredth birthday. Torn between duty and desire, Heli faces an impossible choice: risk the fragile balance of her existence to return the soul to its rightful resting place... or condemn it to the same purgatory she's known all her life. 
 
For the first time, Heli defies the darkness that made her. Yet freedom has a cost, and not every lost soul wishes to be found.
As she ventures beyond the borders of death, she'll discover that the greatest mystery isn't the misplaced soul...it's herself.
