Published by Midnite Legacy Publishing in 2022, this volume examines the supernatural through a lens of psychological tension and moral ambiguity. The narrative centers on Ty, who gains the ability to bring people back from the dead.

Ty must navigate torn loyalties while confronting his own motives, which appear either selfless or sinister depending on the perspective.

The narrative structure forces an examination of how individuals justify their actions when given control over life and death. The stories do not offer easy answers but rather present difficult choices that reflect the darker aspects of human psychology. Readers will find themselves questioning the true cost of such gifts and the integrity of those who wield them.
