When a Guardian Angel says information is "above your pay grade," you know you’re in trouble.
Jonas and his partner, Eli, have spent their lives together navigating the dangerous world of the Fallen, but the rules of engagement have just changed. Kylie is dead—but she isn’t gone. When a pay phone rings from the heart of the Fallen Andras’s suffocating realm, it’s Kylie on the other end, reaching through the veil to find the only man who can hear her.
As Jonas prepares for a treacherous descent into the chaotic realm to bring her back, Eli stands guard against the physical manifestations of the Fallen in a world that is rapidly becoming unstable. But even for seasoned supernatural investigators, the price of a rescue is steep. Their "Watchers," with a frustrating habit of keeping secrets, claim that the truth about where human essence goes is "above their pay grade."
To save Kylie, Jonas and Eli must outmaneuver both divine bureaucracy and demonic malice in a game where the King of Chaos holds all the cards. Jonas will have to risk his very soul to answer the call, discovering that in a realm where essence is currency, someone always has to pay the ransom.
