The Girl Who Was Dead

Instead of heaven or hell, what if fate had something else in store for you?
What if you didn’t die? Not permanently anyway. And you find yourself brought back to life by some creep who calls himself Leviticus St. John and he says he’s a warlock. Is this just a dream gone bad? Or is it really happening? At first, you're not sure. St. John says you should look at it as a gift, a second chance. You might agree if you remembered something about your past life, but it’s all gone. You can’t even remember your name. Fortunately, missing a few memories doesn’t mean you’re suddenly stupid. You know that some “gifts” come with a catch. And this one is no exception. You learn that the group behind your resurrection, the Presidium, has a little job they want you to do for them. If you refuse, you’re dead again. Some choice. But while you’re twiddling your thumbs, waiting to hear more details, you learn about some missing street kids that no one seems interested in finding, so you decide to take matters into your own hands. It’s not like you have anything better to do. And after all, even a once dead teenager needs a reason to live.
