  Summary

  With her spirit fractured and her dignity buried in the dust of her best friends home, Matilda Belmonte finds herself colliding with the one man who despises her most and who knows exactly how heavy the rot inside truly is.

  With a world collapsing into violence and ruin, two lonely ghosts are forced to face the raw, ugly reality of what it takes to survive.
