Three months after her fiancée Lily dies in a car accident, Ruby Morrison is seeing things she can't explain. Shadows that move wrongly. A stray cat with too-intelligent eyes. And Savannah-beautiful, understanding Savannah-who seems to know what Ruby needs before she asks.
Savannah offers Ruby the one thing she can't refuse: a séance to contact Lily one last time. But the ritual doesn't bring Lily back. It opens Ruby, transforming her into a living breach between worlds, her body becoming a doorway for demons to pour through into Earth.
To seal it, Ruby must cross into the demon realm and find Lily's trapped spirit. Together they can become the barrier. But the cost is total dissolution-their identities erased, their consciousness split across dimensions, existing in eternal agony to hold back cosmic horror.
Their love transcended death. Now it must transcend humanity itself.
Some doorways should never be opened. Some love should never merge.
