Publisher's Synopsis
The second book in Michelle Sagara's gripping young adult paranormal trilogy, Queen of the Dead
Nathan died in the summer before his final year in high school, leaving behind a mother who was devoted to him and a girlfriend he loved. His mother and his girlfriend, Emma, are still alive; Nathan is not. But he wakes in his room-or in the shrine his mother's made of his room-confused, cold, and unable to interact with anyone or anything he sees. The only clear memory he has is a dream of a shining city, and its glorious queen, but the dream fades, until he once again meets Emma-by the side of his own grave.
Nathan wants life. He wants Emma. He wants warmth, sensation, a sleep that doesn't leave him confused and aching.
But the cost, to Emma, will be incalculably high-because Emma just might be able to give him what he wants.
