Rosecrest Cemetery has been home to thousands of bodies since its inception in 1823. Most inhabitants are just that—bodies—but some are not quite gone from this earth.

Florence Elizabeth Byrne is one of them. Confined to the boundary of Rosecrest, Florence is destined to roam the grounds for the rest of forever—or until she decides to move on.

But for now, she’s perfectly content to spend her nights in isolation or visiting lost souls in the Fringe, constantly dodging matriarchal tyrant Josephine Everleigh and flirtatious Frenchman Sylvain Beaumont. Until Luca Williams is buried.

In a moment of uncharacteristic weakness, Florence finds herself feeling sorry for the newly-deceased young man, and what’s worse—agrees to help him uncover the truth of his death. But that means contending with the calculated Josephine and invoking Sylvain’s jealous wrath.

It also means coming to terms with her own demise for the first time in a century. Set against the lush backdrop of a sprawling southern cemetery, this modern gothic tale proves that self-discovery and forgiveness can transpire even after life is over.
