The dead didn't stay quiet. And it wasn't just one of them anymore. After everything they thought they closed, something still lingers-moving, learning, and getting closer. Zeph, Marloé, and the ones around them are starting to realize this isn't about one spirit... it never was. In a city that never stops moving, something beneath it refuses to rest. And this time- it isn't waiting to be found.

In South Central, nothing stays buried. Not grief. Not blood. And definitely not the dead. When Marloé DeSilva crosses paths with Zeph-her brother's best friend-what starts as tension turns into something deeper. Something dangerous. Because Asad isn't just gone. He's unfinished. After a ritual meant to bring peace goes wrong, the line between the living and the dead begins to blur. Spirits don't just appear- they remember. They follow. And they collect. ⸻ As Zeph is forced to confront the past he tried to outrun, and Marloé uncovers the truth buried in her bloodline, they realize this isn't just a haunting. It's a debt. One that stretches deeper than the streets... and older than either of them knew. ⸻ With rival sets closing in and something darker moving beneath it all, they'll have to face what was left unfinished- or become part of it. ⸻ Because in a city where loyalty is everything... even the dead expect you to stand on it.
