When Ember's mother murders her, Ember ends up in an afterlife that's nowhere near Heaven or Hell. Her only chance of survival involves accepting a fate far worse than death and become an Omen, a creature that collects evil souls, and if she dies this time, there is no Heaven, there is no Hell... RATE R for intense violence and gore, and suggestive themes. *I want to repeat that this book is EXTREMELY violent—the first chapter being the worse—but it's not gratuitous violence. There's a reason for it and will be revealed later on in the story. If you have a weak stomach, DO NOT read this book. You have been warned.*
