Retrieval

Welcome to Purgatory, located in Washington, DC. Most people end up in Purgatory after they die because they have unfinished business.

Others are given a chance to atone for their sins, and earn their way into Heaven. And yet others won't accept that life as they've known it is over - they're afraid to start the journey to give up their corporeal form.

Those lost souls drift through Purgatory, haunting the living, as powerless in death as they are in life.

Not Nina. She'd been long dead, spending her time in Purgatory intervening with the living to help them resist temptation and dodge untimely deaths, when an ancient demon targeted her and cast her back into a living body with her memory suppressed.

Now she's got her memory back, but she's dead again - and just in time, because a war has started.

Earth and Purgatory versus...something else - something bad and something worse.

The trouble with dominion wars is that you never can tell who's good and who's evil - not to mention who's alive and who's dead.

Nina's got to figure it out fast, though, because Heaven isn't going to sit by and watch Hell take over. The only problem for Nina is that along with her new death comes new temptations.
