A new series in the world of Cindy Eller and Goldie Locke and the Were Bears. Antigone Baehr is almost eighteen when her life takes a bizarre turn. All those feelings she'd had her whole life that she was different from all of her peers were actually true—she is something called 'unlife'. Now forced to face Death face-to-face, Annie finds herself caught up in a future she never wanted for herself—is she fated for Death? Or to be Death?

Antigone's life is one big oxymoron. She has found love, but she knows that it cannot last. Her whole life has set her up to take over for Death. The more she learns, the more Antigone becomes aware that this is not the life—or death—that she wants for herself. She refuses to settle for a future that has been set out for her. But, will her refusal to accept her destiny destroy everything and everyone that she loves? How can she choose between a future with the love of her life, and her family?
