All Her Ghosts

All Her Ghosts by Cynthia Prith explores a world where the dead have eerily lingered among the living for nearly two decades.

Persephone Green doesn't have a heartbeat. Even she knows its absence is not normal. In place of her heart, something inhuman stirs—an ancient ocean, which she discovers is twinned in the chest of Sebastian, the charmingly bizarre new student. When they're together, they attract ghosts like a beacon, and when they kiss, white flowers bloom in the dead, autumn ground.

To exhume the truth, Persephone and Bas travel across the Midwest to the deserted facility where it all began. They are pursued across state lines by writhing swarms of ghosts, militant government agents, and—perhaps worst of all—her mother. They unspool a tangled web of conspiracies, revealing a divine and devastating truth at its centre.

Forced to choose between an imperfect life that's wholly hers or an otherworldly responsibility older than time, the echoes of Persephone's decision will alter the fates of all souls—living and dead—forever.
