Megan Amano is a normal college student, but her dreams take her to a supernatural college, Merridiah University, where spirits learn to be muses to living humans. What is her connection to this bizarre place that keeps calling her back, night after night? What about the drowned young man named Adrian Crandall?

Megan awakens from a dream to find that she is back in Merridiah University, and now attending school in this afterlife as a full time exchange student. It is December 25th and she is told that she will remain a part of the Shutterbox Exchange Programme at Merridiah for a year. But what about her life on Earth? Megan is certain she has completely vanished from her home world and she knows her mother must be hysterical...

Now that Megan has merged with the goddess, Laahli, the Muse to the Muse, Megan discovers that she can teleport to any place within Merridiah she desires, and she and Adrien have spent many months alone together exactly where she wants, thousands of miles away from Merridiah University in an abandoned castle keep that was once the home of giants. Yet the many creatures of Merridiah are terrified at the idea of Megan's divine union with Laahli, and thus after a meeting of Merridiah's leaders, Damien hatches a plan to imprison Megan within University grounds...

In order to face and capture the terrible Banshee lurking inside Lewis Carroll's urn, Thomas helps Megan enter yet another realm in the afterlife of Merridiah. What the two aren't prepared for is the release of an eternal entity once thought lost with Merridiah University's heart. Forever transformed by the encounter, Megan now seeks to discover the dark secret Dane has walled up inside his boutique in the deep, dark realm far below Merridiah.
