Do you ever get the feeling you were born for so much more than this? On the 31st of December there was always a dawn, there was always Emmeline, and there were always tears. The day Emmeline turns twenty-one marks the return of the darkness that took her parents when she was ten. What begins with a rough night out ends with a home invasion and a visit to A&E, and now the police want to speak with her. As her fractured world descends into even greater chaos, Emmeline decides to run. Straight into the arms of the coming storm. The Ferryman of the Dead has come to claim her soul. But not for the reasons you may think. When he unexpectedly changes the game and risks everything to save her life, she realises being kidnapped by Death may not be such a bad thing after all. As for the rest of the monsters out for her blood, well, that's another matter all together...
