In a bizarre underworld built from its denizens' nightmares, an undead teen searches for a glimpse into her past, but what she finds is a spellbinding girl enshackled like her. Welcome to Gravelight City, where a second life is possible-so long as you can keep it. Corinne rises from the dead, landing face-first in a world she can't figure out to search for a past no one may know. No one, that is, but the city. Its twisting streets and lurking shadows warp with the clues to one's old life, secrets buried in the cracks for those compelled to dig. But strange things keep happening around her-even stranger than usual, according to her new friends. It's almost as if something's conspiring to keep her from the truth. Despite the mounting setbacks, she finds a lead in the enigmatic Julie, the only other girl whose neck's ornate shackle matches hers. Together, they cut a mad swathe through the city, from its darkest alleys to its most haunted depths, and come face to bloody face with the night's many terrors. But as Corinne sinks deeper into Julie's mesmerizingly prophetic ways, she wonders just how tightly their fates may intertwine... and if Gravelight's most horrific secrets may not be her own.
