    <![CDATA[In the class of the high school English teacher she has been haunting, Helen feels them: for the first time in 130 years, human eyes are looking at her.  They belong to a boy, a boy who has not seemed remarkable until now.  And Helen, terrified but intrigued, is drawn to him.  The fact that he is in a body and she is not presents this unlikely couple with their first challenge.  But as the lovers struggle to find a way to be together, they begin to discover the secrets of their former lives and of the young people they come to possess.]]>

    <![CDATA[A supernatural love story set in Imperial Russia.<br/><br/>&quot;There's something not right about you,&quot; said Ana. She wasn't teasing him. She was concerned about what she detected behind his eyes. This made Calder's skin tingle. &quot;You're not telling me something.&quot;<br/>     She was uncanny. Calder silently prayed she could not see how he had broken his Vows and upset her world and his own.<br/>     &quot;You're lonely,&quot; she told him. &quot;It must be hard to pretend all the time.&quot;<br/>     He felt a wave of sadness, sudden and deep.<br/>     &quot;Don't be afraid,&quot; she told him. &quot;Everyone has a secret. I'll keep yours.&quot;<br/><br/>Calder is a Fetch, a death escort, the first of his kind to step from Heaven back to Earth. <br/>The first to fall in love with a mortal girl. <br/>But when he climbs backward out of that Death Scene, into the chaos of the Russian Revolution, he tears a wound in the ghost realm where the spirits begin a revolution of their own.]]>
