When her sister died, Jenna blamed herself. When Jenna died, she blamed herself for that, too. But Jenna died too soon; living or dead, every soul is promised a certain amount of time, and Jenna has a heavy debt. Rather than simply steal that time from the living, Jenna earns every day she leeches with volunteer work at a suicide prevention hotline. Now something has come for the ghosts of New York, to bind them to mirrors and make them do its bidding. Only Jenna stands in its way.
Deep in the polar south stands a city built aeons ago, promising the secrets of the ancients to whomever can reach it first. As the Kresskind siblings pursue their fortunes, industry, magic, gods, and steampower collide.
