As a foreign exchange student at the University of Cologne, Noelle Nielsen befriends Swen, her assigned international liaison- fluent in both English and German. Unfortunately, this wasn't what Brett, her boyfriend back home in the states, had in mind when she signed up to study abroad last semester at the University of Chicago. Amid taking classes, managing homework, learning a new language and culture, Noelle must safeguard the secrets hidden within the Keeper's Codex in order to preserve her past and future. If this wasn't enough to make Noelle lose her mind, her best friend is missing, and the Grotesques are after her again. Fortunately, Noelle isn't alone. She has the support of the Guardians and Archbishop to get her through the most direr of situations in Keep Safe- Book II of the Dust to Flesh Series.
