“You must prove which of you deserves to live.”
Adelena lived a selfish life and now she’s dead. But before she passes on to whatever’s next, she is given a second chance. If in two months she can prove that she is a decent person, she gets to stay alive, but if she fails, she’s dead for good.
Having to think about others is hard enough, but now she can also sense when people are close to death. So when she meets the doomed Saunders, Adelena is determined to help her.
But will she have time to save Saunders before her own life runs out?
