A haunted spaceship. A missing sister. A thrill ride that will leave you breathless.
Absidy is a ghost magnet, a sensitive person spirits flock to when they can't cross over. After her brutal past, she spends her reclusive existence melting iron into bite-sized pieces. Whether ancient paper clips or nails, consuming iron is the only thing that keeps the ghosts away.
But when Absidy's sister goes missing in deep space, Absidy vows to find her. She boards the first ship she can - a ship that turns out to be haunted.
To keep the malicious ghosts from killing her, the alluring bad boy pilot gives her a small bundle of all the iron on the ship. But their growing relationship is tested with the crew's prying eyes and hidden secrets.
While the ship sails into deep space, it's not just her sister's life that Absidy fears for. It's her own, as well. Especially since her stash of iron has shrunk to zero.

Titanium walls, floors, and ceilings polished to a low shine echoed every footstep through the entryway of the Vicio. Every two feet of patterned ridges on the floor ended with another two feet of grating, beating a thunk, thunk, plunk, plunk under our feet. Lights hung from double cords above every other solid square of metal. At each change in the flooring, a thick metal strip dotted with bolts arced up the curved walls. When I stepped over the grating, a faint light glowed beneath my shoes to the floor several feet below. The ship smelled like engine oil, something that usually calmed me since it reminded me of Pop, but he wasn't here with me. 


A figure emerged around a corner up ahead. "Ah, you must be the cooks. The crew will be thrilled they don't have to rely on my skills in the kitchen anymore." A stocky black man with a wide, friendly smile thrust a hand toward Randolph then me. "Or lack thereof. Welcome aboard the Vicio. I'm Captain Glenn."
