Fifteen-year-old Dawn is currently living her twenty-seventh life. She is in a system that gives her the opportunity to redeem herself and earn a utopian afterlife after she majorly messed up her very first life. Mind you, she has no memory of that first life and what she did to get her here. The afterlife is run by Celestials, the ones who have inspired every myth that exists.

Phoenix, mythological inspiration for beings such as Hermes and Loki, tells Dawn that the system that's treated her like a lab rat, testing her again and again, life after life, is corrupt. Issue is, Dawn hates Phoenix and trusts him less than a poisonous snake. It's the type of hate that can only form as a result of major betrayal... The two have a complicated history.

When the corruption becomes more evident, however, she'll have no choice but to work with him. As Dawn gets closer to the truth, she'll start to question if what she's always wanted, answers about her original life, is something she should fear. But, within Dawn's past may lie the key to not only fixing the corrupt system but stopping a threat to the world itself.
