Suigin (Sugi) Masuku, a book shop owner in London, is also a corpse. A corpse (in this reality) is a being with a special eye. They can see a person's personality, mood, and sometimes even their thoughts. Each corpse has their own eye, one may have a striped one, another a rainbow one, and they normally hide them under an eye patch, hair, or contact lenses. The possess un-human abilities, such as magic, invisibility, or a speedy wit. But with this power comes a price; they must eat human organs. (heart, eyes, brain, stomach, etc) They can enjoy few things that humans favor, such as tea & pomegranates. Sugi struggles to fit in to this world, and when a corpse official comes into her shop and demands her assistance, she doesn't know what to do. Will she decline and continue working, possible hurting her specie's population, or accept and lose trust of her human friends?
