Who can you trust in the shadows?

Josephine thought she understood the Parallel-a realm where Missionaries, Reapers of the Light, guide departed souls to their salvation and their opposite, the Grims, condemn them to the Dark. But her afterlife had been sheltered and she’s realizing that the hidden truths are more dangerous than she could have ever imagined.

Haunted by secrets and shadowed by lies, Josephine has to face her world and fight to learn its secrets-though some would kill to keep her in the dark. As she unravels the mysteries surrounding the Parallel, she discovers enemies lurking in unexpected places, and allies who might not be who they seem.

Among them is Corvus, a Grim with a past as shrouded in darkness as his intentions. Drawn to him by a connection she can’t explain, Josephine finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew about Grims, Missionaries, and even herself. But pursuing the truth comes at a cost, and every step forward pulls her deeper into a web of danger.
To survive, Josephine must navigate perilous alliances, confront her greatest fears, and face a destiny that was set in motion long before her death. But as the line between light and darkness blurs, she’ll have to decide who to trust-before the shadows claim her for good.

In a world where truth is a weapon and secrets are deadly, Josephine’s search for answers could be the key to her salvation... or the end of everything she loves.
