There is no safe place for a teenager who lives on the streets, especially not for one like Theodora Corda.
Sevanteen, orphaned, homeless, and addicted to heroin, Theodora's life is not what it should be.
When she's accused of a murder she didn't commit, it just gets worse.
And when she, herself, is killed, she learns that neither God nor the Devil could see her in life. She was one of the few Shrouded humans. As such, neither God nor the Devil knows if she's guilty or innocent of the crime of murder, or what smaller sins she committed in life, and she is sent to Purgatory. The only way out is to prove her innocence.
The only problem is, she can't remember anything from her time among the living.
Five young adults from the same area die from similar causes and all end up in the same place, Hell. The Sins they have committed are minor, but they're enough to get them into the Eternal Shit House. The Devil comes to each of them in many forms and hands them each individual tasks they must perform to see where they belong in Hell. Some have accepted their fate and work hard to be one of His Greats. Others try finding an escape and a second chance at Life and Heaven. If they fail these tasks, they're stuck back in line with no short cuts.
May be a tad confusing to read because the perspectives bounce from first to third person depending on who's narrating. I'll try fixing it if it's too difficult.
