   Summary

   There are ghosts that haunt places.

   There are ghosts that haunt people.

   And then there are those who survive long enough to become ghosts themselves.

   Harry has lived through the future. Now he standing in a world where the dead are still alive and the monster he remembers is still only a boy.

   He chooses silence. Hunger. Cheap rooms. Dirty work. Anything that might make history forget him.

   He wants to become nobody.

   But history has a way of noticing the things that do not belong.

   And sometimes, all it takes is one person looking back.
