The afterlife isn't kind. But neither is she.
After her death, Lilian Windsor, a girl with a troubled past and blood on her hands, has only one wish: to see her family safe in the Cloudlands, the afterlife for the good-hearted and kind. However, upon entering the afterlife, she is deemed unworthy to join them. With her only other option being Nightfall, the afterlife for the cruel and vile, she chooses to join the Unproven-a group for those wanting to prove themselves worthy of walking among the Cloudland's greatest.
Unprovens undergo harsh training and are assigned lethal tasks, culminating in a final trial where they must become a guardian spirit for a misguided person in the living realm.
But as Lilian continues her desperate journey as an Unproven, she must decide just how much she is willing to sacrifice to become a Cloudlander, especially as she begins to question whether they are as kind-hearted and pure as she once believed.
