Description
After her sister’s death leaves a permanent absence in her life, Roslyn is pulled back into the orbit of a mysterious caravan of girls who seem to live by rules the rest of the world never sees. When Death himself enters the picture—offering survival in exchange for a terrible duty—Roslyn joins the group to uncover the truth behind Adeline’s final summer and the bargain that bound them all. As the girls travel from place to place, reaping souls on Death’s behalf, Roslyn is forced to confront grief, guilt, and the cost of closure when it demands sacrifice. Alexis Henderson’s lyrical, atmospheric storytelling—known for blending gothic wonder with sharp emotional stakes—turns this speculative YA journey into a haunting meditation on agency, mortality, and what it means to choose your own ending.
