On the planet Aya, death has been conquered. Thanks to the "Regeneration" project, millions of people are returning to life-young, healthy, and with perfect memories. They have been granted a second chance. But what price must be paid for this miracle?
Liza is a Welcomer. Her job is to be the first face the awakened see. She is their guide from the darkness of the past into the dazzling reality of the present. Every day, she helps people accept the impossible: a professor who has lost his children forever in the last war; a little girl who awakens surrounded by now-adult peers; a spiteful mother-in-law trapped in the body of a young beauty.
But what happens when the initial shock wears off? When not only beloved relatives return, but also old grievances, unresolved problems, and terrible secrets that should have died forever? In this new world, everyone must find their own path anew, battling the ghosts of the past in an endless future.
