Six months ago Nikki's life fell apart and she was desperate to escape that she became a Forfeit in the underworld. She allowed charismatic Cole to feed from her life force, but when the Feed ended, Nikki did something that no other Forfeit had done before: she remembered who she was. Nikki attributes her remaining herself to her memories of Jack.
Now, Nikki has returned to her life after being gone for six months. She knows that at the end of six months she will be pulled back to the underworld for eternity, but she wants to make things right with her family and especially Jack before she disappears again. But things aren't that easy and it certainly doesn't help that Cole is hanging around.
Then Nikki discovers that there might be hope after all, that she might not have to Return. Together with Jack, she tries to discover how she can stay and in the process, she grows closer and closer to Jack, resisting Cole's pull.
This novel is based on the Orpheus and Eurydice myth. Check out Michael Cadnum's Nightsong.
