SYNOPSIS:
In Death I could finally see the importance of Life…
After being forced to become a Reaper Council member and being torn away from the one she loves, Rowan Harper must learn to accept her altered Fate as well as her death and move on. A task easier said than done, especially when witnessing those you love suffer in the wake of your death.
When an unlikely alli provides information that could change everything, Rowan sets out on a journey through Purgatory with her beloved by her side and a nonchalant Tracker to learn the true meaning of the word sacrifice. Another task which seems easier said than done, especially with the threat of Purgatory’s ability to corrupt your soul the longer you’re in its grip looming above their heads.
Excerpt:
Torment and sin, pain and evil floated through the air in a
near suffocating haze. I could feel it surrounding me, brushing up against me,
attempting to lure me in deeper and away from the door so I couldn’t escape as
though it were alive. I licked my lips and tasted the bitterness of this place
on my tongue. Jet’s hand tightened around mine, and I could sense his tension
as he glanced at what lie before us. My eyes darted about in wonder, taking in
my surroundings.
Purgatory was eerily beautiful, in a gothic sense. It was as
if stepping through the door had taken us deep underground without taking any
stairs. Cold, dark dirt lay beneath my bare feet, etched with deep ruts and
grooves. There was no sky, only more dirt above me, bumpy and full of ridges. I
felt as if I’d stepped inside a damp cave long ago forgotten by even the
smallest of creatures. White fog bubbled from a crater a few hundred feet away
from where Jet and I stood, and danced across the ground hypnotically.
Gripping my hand even tighter, Jet put one foot in front of
the other, and we began making our way through the silent darkness that was
Purgatory, toward the crater that dipped into the ground. After only a few
steps, I noticed something at the cliff-like edge of the crater, something
shinny and black that caught the small glint of light available and reflected
it.
“What is that?” I asked, pointing, just before I realized
what the objects were. “How are there crows down here?”
We’d taken a few steps before Jet shook his head and finally
answered me. “Those aren’t crows; those are ravens.”
