Kieli is a reclusive girl isolated by her ability to see ghosts. Heronly friend is her "roommate," Becca, the precocious spirit of a formerstudent still residing in Kieli's dorm. Everything in Kieli's lifechanges suddenly when the girls meet the handsome but distant Harveywho, like Kieli, can see ghosts. He also turns out to be one of thelegendary Undying, an immortal soldier bred for war now being hunted bythe Church. When Kieli joins Harvey on a pilgrimage to lay to rest thespirit of a corporal possessing an old radio, as unlikely as it seems,she feels she may have finally found a place where she belongs in theworld. And in Kieli, Harvey may have found a reason to live again.

Her spirit cast adrift, Kieli finds herself trapped in the world of Harvey's past and witnessing the worst day of a young Ephraim's life. Can she - with a little help from Harvey in the land of the living - find her way back to her body? Perhaps more importantly, is there anything she can do for the spirits who have taken her under their wing?

It's been a year and a half since Harvey left Kieli and the Corporal in Beatrix's care. Though she hasn't heard a word from him in all that time, Kieli can't forget the Undying who took her under his wing. When Beatrix receives a cryptic note from Harvey indicating that he's discovered information about Kieli's mother, Kieli abandons the Corporal and Beatrix in an effort to track Harvey down, but the passing of time has not been kind to the Undying. Will Harvey and Kieli have a second chance at a life together, or is this the end of their story?

When the Corporal's wires get crossed and his memory begins to fail, Harvey and Kieli are forced to temporarily set aside their search for Beatrix to scout for pre-War parts for their afflicted comrade. Along the way, they encounter a strange beast who knows far too much about Undyings and has taken an unsettling interest in Harvey. But it may be a far more mundane menace from Kieli's past that threatens the couple's continuing journey...
