They say that all children go to heaven. They say that good, churchgoing adults go to heaven, and the sinners go to hell. But what about the teenagers, who hadn't had time to correct their sins? The teenagers who aren't angelic enough to go to heaven, but aren't bad enough to go to hell. What happens to them? That's where The Grim Fairy comes in. Whisking those souls to a happy medium. A realm called The Grimlok which lies between heaven and hell, however slightly closer to hell, I mean, these are teenagers after all. In this realm there is no eternal torture, but there is no eternal reward. You become grouped with who your social groupings were with on Earth, attempting to make the inhabitants comfortable in the upcoming eternity. This realm is the closest to Earth. It can be sheer torture, or it could be a damn good time. This Grimlok is what you make of it. But sometimes, mistakes are made. Enter Emaline Hamilton, Ema for short. Straight A student, extracurriculars extraordinaire, Colorguard Captain, all the while finding time for her friends, family and loving boyfriend. She seems like she has it all figured out, right? She thought she did. Until she got into a car wreck. Ema wakes up in the kitchen of the Grim Fairy, telling her what happened, and how she wasn't supposed to be there. Ema is in a coma, so she won't be staying long in the Grimlok. But then she finds out someone else is there. And is supposed to be there. Her best friend. She convinces the Grim Fairy to allow her to find him and bring him back with her, to their world. The Grim Fairy agrees under the condition that Ema go and find him without her help, and that she do it within 7 days, her scheduled time within The Grimlok. Join Ema on her quest to find her best friend, while making friends she never thought possible in the process.
