Corrupted doesn't always mean wicked.
Sixteen-year-old Ari Jones is supposed to be starting over.
Instead, she's seeing ghosts.
After moving to the eerie town of Uncertain, Texas, Ari begins seeing the apparition of Samael Lowood-a Victorian boy with sharp smiles, careful manners, and a century-old murder attached to his name.
When a demonic messenger offers Ari a bargain-the return of her missing father in exchange for a stolen relic called the Nanorian-Sam opens a doorway to the Darklands, a frozen afterlife reserved for corrupted souls. There, beneath eternal night and snow-dusted roses, Ari learns the truth: Hell is searching for the Nanorian too.
And it will kill to get it.
With the help of a rule-breaking angel, a sharp-tongued witch, and a ghost who may be hiding more than he admits, Ari is pulled into a war between Heaven and Hell where loyalties blur, monsters wear familiar faces, and even the dead can lie.
Because the Nanorian isn't just a relic.
It's a weapon.
And if Ari can't uncover the truth behind Sam's murder and the forces hunting her father, she may lose far more than her mind.
