It is said that back when the town of Ravenport was first colonized, a witch lived among the people. The witch created medicine to treat the townsfolk for everything from the mumps to food poisoning. No one questioned it for nearly two decades until the witch was found bathing in a tidepool by the town's beach with a pentagram on their back. The witch also spoke to what was called a selkie. A hunter shot the selkie, and then the witch was shot in the leg just as they were about to turn into a wolf to flee. Without explanation, without even a trial, the witch was burned and buried deep in the Ravenport woods. A large stone was set over the witch's grave to prevent her from returning from the dead. As the years passed, everyone believed it to be a wive's tale and a story to tell children to keep them inside at night and not to wander the woods lest the witch eats them. For Luna Ravenport, she didn't care if it was true or not. The fourteen-year-old girl ventured into the woods on the full moon on all hallow's eve to find the stone that was said to keep the witch in the earth. Luna had heard tales the witch granted wishes to true believer's of their story and if they had an offering of something sweet. With Halloween candy, Luna wished for her soul to appear - Only to somehow summon Lucifer. Now she has a new best friend who won't leave her alone. Although, it could be worse; Luna could be lonely like she always was and not have anyone to help her around everyone who bullied her; Which was practically the whole town.

The gift was granted to him by the archangel Uriel, one of the seven archangels in Christianity who adopt mentally stagnated children and imbue them with special powers. However, Luke needed to know more about his heritage, so when the opportunity arrived to study at an academy for his kind up in the Rocky Mountains, he took it, leaving his friends, school, family, and the love of his life behind. He learns that mentally distracted children can only unlock the power within them at the cost of their innocence. And when he gets chosen by the school to carry out a dangerous mission to the Garden of Eden to help "save" a mentally lost child, he encounters monstrous creatures, demons, turned angels, and a betrayal that puts his new school's safety in jeopardy. *** This story is complete!

"You're not dead, Max. Your body is dead." Max's guardian angel tells him as he is embraced in warm light. After a deadly car accident, fourteen-year-old Max Fletcher finds himself in the confusing afterlife, waiting for his kid sister who is in critical condition. While in this state of surprising existence, he learns some interesting realities of heaven and hell, but mostly he learns about a dimension called "The In-Between" where he finds himself trapped with countless other dead people. Max is surprised to find friendship and support in a living schoolmate who he and his friends used to call "Dizzy Lizzie." He also finds guidance and direction from an odd, artistic woman and a bitterly sarcastic spirit guide named Bob. During this journey, Max learns how to let go of his life and family and move toward his final purpose - as one of the warriors determined to help the living by fighting off predatory demons and corrupt In-Betweeners.
