The afterlife is not a paradise. It's a waiting room. And it's permanently closed.
When Eliot Vance wakes in the Antechamber, he has no memory of his past-only the sterile white expanse of eternity's overflow. Heaven is sealed. The celestial realm is "at capacity." And the endless queue of souls has become permanent.
The system is flawless.
Until Eliot discovers the flaw.
Buried in the archives is a secret: the Gate was not sealed by divine necessity... but by design. Someone chose to preserve paradise-for some-at the cost of millions.
Now Eliot must ally with a ruthless revolutionary and a cynical historian to challenge the architects of the afterlife itself.
But in a world where memory is erased and hope is rationed, rebellion may be the only sin that still matters.
Vacancy is a high-concept dystopian thriller about power, identity, and the price of salvation.
