In Halloween Town, the Pumpkin King has eternity--something most would kill for. But death can grow lonely even for those born into it. Nico di Angelo, prince of the graveyard and keeper of the dark, finds himself wondering what it might feel like to live.
In a world far away, under the eerie glow of phosphor, a man named Apollo steals something from the dead to build something newly wretched. Blue eyes fly open after too much time spent in a grave.
Nico was born to rule the dead, and Will was torn from death to live a live never meant for him. Somewhere between them-between life and death, horror and wonder-something begins to spark.
Or: a Nightmare Before Christmas-themed AU.
