" I closed my eyes and took a last look at the rundown streets I had known for so long as home.... I vaguely registered Scylla shouting my name in the background, but I was too far gone to care. All I knew is that I was lost and there was nothing I could do to help it."

17 year old Aura Jackson knows nothing beyond the walls of Arcadia, her hometown and the reason for her suffering. Struggling with PTSD after witnessing the gruesome murder of her mother doesn't help her sleepless nights, fearing that she would be next; and certainly doesn't help with paying the bills for her family. Now add in a psycho stalker, a hormonal sister and an irreplaceable hate for the 'upper worlders' (a tribe of rich bratty upper class snobs), and you get a pretty good idea of turmoil she calls life...

Geoff and Naomi are dead, and they're depressed, but when Geoff's cat Bernie dies as well, they embark on a wild journey to find it in the underworld. ***** When Geoff dies, alongside his girlfriend Naomi, they end up sharing an apartment in the Underworld as skeletons. But after a few years, Geoff starts suffering a mid-death crisis. What's the purpose of going through the motions as a skeleton if you can't really live? Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home! Geoff and Naomi hurry to get Bernie only to discover that, due to a clerical error, their cat has been lost. With the hunt for Bernie giving new purpose to Geoff's un-life, he and Naomi begin a quest to get back their cat. Battling skeleton pirates, climbing the sky ladder and facing off against the villain who took Bernie, Geoff is determined to find his purpose - or die a second time trying!
