Five years ago, the idyllic peace of Garden City had been shattered. Mysterious beings from another dimension emerged, with malevolent intentions for humankind. Only five young women possessed the miraculous powers to fight against the foes they called Outsiders, and after months of peril, the five ultimately prevailed and saved the world from conquest.
Now, Faye Brice lives a normal life with a normal career, her days as the valiant heroine Papillon nothing more than a memory. Peaceful Outsiders have begun to co-exist with humankind in Garden City, serving as a constant reminder of Faye’s unbelievable and secret former life.
Then Faye’s routine life changes when she meets a female Outsider who leaves her utterly fascinated. A simple conversation leads to mutual infatuation, with both curious and secretive. As Faye struggles to understand her true feelings, one question gives her the opportunity to forever be free of her now-mundane life. Her decision may bring her happiness or regret—and the ripples of her choice may shatter the fragile peace between humans and Outsiders.

The Young Bride
A young woman dies on her wedding day. But that is only the beginning. She rises as one of the Dead, and must make her way to the feared and mysterious City, where all the unliving gather. On the way, she is pursued by her former husband, while being caught in the machinations of the Dead and eluding the savage Wild Hunt.
Or alternately, Dark Souls meets Exalted meets Orpheus and Eurdydice meets an Indictment on Modern America.

Lawrence might be a teenage ghost and something of a nuisance, but he's seventeen-year-old Blake's best friend. He has been since Blake's grandmother--and Lawrence's old girlfriend--died three years ago, and Blake did his first working to try to bring her back. What he brought back instead was a demon, and only Lawrence's intervention saved him from being consumed by it. Since then they've been inseparable. They have to be, seeing as Lawrence's soul is tethered to Blake. That little inheritance wasn't exactly in the will.
But as close as the boys are, Lawrence really craves love. It's what kept his soul safe all these decades, when he should have become a scary hollowed-out ghost long ago. Blake loves him, he knows that, but it's hard to believe all the time. Lawrence is practically exploding in emotion, but Blake's not exactly the gushing kind. If only he was more like his cousin, Joy, who lives just as vibrantly as Lawrence would like to. In the past year, he's noticed Joy becoming more and more like Blake's grandmother, and the more he notices, the more he longs for a different kind of love than the one Blake's managed to show him.
When the demon returns and takes members of Blake's family, the boys race to figure out a way to vanquish it back to where it came from and save Blake's family. Especially since Joy's the next on the demon's list.
