Living As The Dead

Asa El Berardi died at eighteen.

East Baye destroyed her first, of course, but technically speaking, she did the dying herself.

After years of manipulation, humiliation, betrayal, and one leaked video that turned her suffering into public entertainment, Asa finally took her own life while the people responsible continued living pretty, successful lives.

Until she comes back.

Six years later, Asa returns to East Baye richer, colder, and impossible to ignore. Now a famous painter with haunting eyes and an even more haunting smile, she quietly slips back into the lives of the people who ruined her and starts ruining them right back.

There's always something - a collapsing marriage here, destroyed reputations there, leaked secrets, public scandals, and emotional affairs that absolutely should not be happening. And somehow, Asa is always standing nearby when everything falls apart.

But the strangest part isn't that Asa El Berardi came back from the dead.

It's that sometimes... she doesn't seem like Asa at all.
