To save her father's soul, she must cross the boundary no living heart survives.
In 1883, Amelia believes her long-awaited vengeance has finally brought peace-until the impossible happens. Her mother, Emily, long dead and deeply mourned, returns to her side with a truth that shatters everything Amelia thought she knew: her father, Josiah, is trapped between life and death, unable to cross either way.
Determined to save the father she has yearned for all her life, Amelia follows Emily into the shadowed realm of the afterlife. It is a place where memories whisper, spirits cling to unfinished stories, and time slips away like smoke. Every step draws them deeper into a world shaped by love, loss, and the echoes of the dead.
But the boundary between the living and the departed is beginning to fracture. To reach Josiah before he fades forever, Amelia must confront the darkness that hunts them-and the truth about her own extraordinary gift. Saving him may cost her the fragile second chance she has been given with her mother.
Their quest is desperate. Their hope is fragile. And the miracle they seek is slipping out of reach.
Will love guide them home-or will the shadows claim them for good?
