Billy's gone.
Ruby Buckley's world ended with him.
But Hawkins isn't done with her yet.
When strange deaths begin again, Ruby is pulled into the heart of the storm. Between shadowy nightmares, the town's newest outcast, and someone she was never supposed to feel anything for... Ruby starts to question everything.
What she's grieving, what she's fighting for, and who she's becoming.
Because in Hawkins, nothing stays buried for long.

Things are taking a turn for the worst in Hawkins, and it seems as though this may be the final battle for our heroes. And while a battle is scary, the internal conflict of one's self can be much scarier.
takes place right after the season four <3
(tw: mentions of homophobia and abuse in the first chapter. also dwells on pretty dark themes such as death. ANGST LOTS OF IT OMG)
