When a person who already senses death to an abnormal degree brushes her hand against the reaper's scythe reaching for her own head and missing by a hair's width. They will find that death has a way of haunting and taunting her, even if it was not with her own demise. Compromising between the living and dead, the balance is hard to find. Huang An Ni trembled feverishly, every night the dead found ways to send her their desperate cries for help. Moaning about their frightening ways of death, crying for revenge, pleading for her to save them. The deities which despised fate's plans for her would send her the future, for the dead were desperate for her eyes, but the deities loved her entirety. Offering her protection, warmth, and visions. Carrying the burden of their love, Huang An Ni must survive life in the big city, where a series of murders begin taking place dangerously close to herself. For the dead were not the only ones hunting her...
