High school is not a welcoming place if you have braces and unsettling violet eyes. Eurydice Arden, sixteen years old, knows this all too well, constantly enduring bullying and injustice from her classmates. If she were a normal teenager, she would probably vent her frustrations with a tub of ice cream and a tear-jerking movie, but the strange affinity Eurydice has with the dead makes her anything but normal. One day, after yet another humiliation, she accidentally resurrects an attractive young man with an old-fashioned name, Orpheus, who has been dead for almost fifty years. But once the damage is done, why not try to take advantage of the situation? And what if a group of bullies wasn't the biggest threat Eurydice and Orpheus, along with their unexpected allies, had to face?
