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.

I'd just survived much more than I ever thought possible. Did she see that? Did she know what I did to come after her through deep space? I squeezed her hand, maybe a little too hard, to remind her that I wasn't made of glass and to urge her to continue. 


She looked up, her gray eyes sparkling wet, and brushed the tears from her face. "Research told me that iron would attract enough electromagnetic energy to shield you from the ghosts. But I knew I needed more than that, something to make you crave iron at all times so you would never have to be terrorized again. When I read about this parasite, I studied it, analyzed it, and I thought it might work." 


"At first, yes," she said quietly. "And it did work. Iron was all I thought about, but I kept it hidden inside my cheek around you and Pop. After I was sure it was safe, all I needed to know then was if it would still work to keep the ghosts away from you."
