One windswept Chicago autumn, teenager Laini Raiker's life changed forever. The mafia murdered her birth parents, and she's tossed into protective custody, starting life with nothing but a new name with a new family. Eighteen years later, Laini was blissfully married to the love of her life, Jaxton Travelli, until she woke up in the hospital staring down at her comatose body. How the hell did she get there? Did her now-missing husband abandon her? Refusing to believe the worst, Laini is determined to discover the truth. As she delves deeper, a web of lies emerges as long-lost enemies surface, threatening to destroy her family and everything she believes in. But time is running out. With the mafia closing in, how can Laini save her missing husband when she is a ghost? How is she to save herself before she becomes permanently spirit bound?
