: As the latest transitioner at Gravepyres, Joseph Srinivas has a lot on his plate … practicing Cloudforming, studying Mathamythics, understanding Decomposition, and learning how to ‘See’. But the only thing he really wants to learn is how to get home. Back to his parents and little sister.
When he stumbles upon the secret of the Eternal Spring and the majestic vultures who are the custodians of ancient knowledge, Jose thinks he might have found a way out. Hand in hand with his loyal, if rather scatty friend, Mishi, he sets off for the mysterious mountains of Kozitsthereistan. Will they find the source of the River of Time? Will they be able to save the notyetis? Will Jose ever make it back to the Land of Living?
As Jose and Mishi embark on the adventure of a lifetime, the very fate of the world hangs in the balance.

: “Welcome to the family,” Nina Winchester says as I shake her elegant, manicured hand. I smile politely, gazing around the marble hallway. Working here is my last chance to start fresh. I can pretend to be whoever I like. But I’ll soon learn that the Winchesters’ secrets are far more dangerous than my own…
Every day I clean the Winchesters’ beautiful house top to bottom. I collect their daughter from school. And I cook a delicious meal for the whole family before heading up to eat alone in my tiny room on the top floor.
I try to ignore how Nina makes a mess just to watch me clean it up. How she tells strange lies about her own daughter. And how her husband Andrew seems more broken every day. But as I look into Andrew’s handsome brown eyes, so full of pain, it’s hard not to imagine what it would be like to live Nina’s life. The walk-in closet, the fancy car, the perfect husband.
I only try on one of Nina’s pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it’s like. But she soon finds out… and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it’s far too late.
