Every soul that dies leaves behind a lantern, and someone must carry it until it's ready to fade.
Seventeen-year-old Elara Voss always thought she was ordinary - until the night she follows a flickering light into the forest and meets Caelen, a mysterious boy who claims to be a Lantern Keeper. When a soul refuses to pass on and begins corrupting the world of the living, Elara is drawn into a hidden realm where time bends, memories deceive, and not all spirits are what they seem.
As Elara's connection to Caelen deepens, she must confront truths about her own past - and make a choice: return to the life she knew, or become something she never imagined.
