A beautiful stranger stands at the doorstep… A pleasant surprise? Maybe. But in her eyes there are secrets; behind her is darkness, and her shadow is death itself. A soul catcher knows that after death life only begins—but he’s in no hurry to cross to the other side of the boundary. However, with the arrival of a new assistant, they keep trying to kill him. She’s stubborn, dangerous, and it seems she doesn’t think very highly of him. Fire her? Never. After all, next to her he is truly alive.
