BEAUTIFUL DEAD

Something strange is happening. Phoenix is the fourth teenager to die within a year. His street fight stabbing follows the deaths of Jonas, Summer and Arizona in equally strange and sudden circumstances. Rumours of ghosts and strange happenings ripple through the small community as it comes to terms with shock and loss. Darina, Phoenix's grief-stricken girlfriend, can't escape her intense heartache, or the impossible apparitions of those that are meant to be dead. And all the while the sound of beating wings echo inside her head!

And then one day Phoenix appears to Darina. Ecstatic to be reunited, he tells her about the Beautiful Dead. Souls in limbo, they have been chosen to return to the world to set right a wrong linked to their deaths and bring about justice. Beautiful, superhuman and powerful, they are marked by a small tattoo of angel's wings which appears on the body at the place that caused their deaths. Phoenix tells her that the sound of invisible wings beating are the millions of souls in limbo, desperate to return to earth.

Darina's mission is clear: she must help Jonas, Summer, Arizona and her beloved Phoenix, right the wrong linked to their deaths so that they can finally rest in peace. So begins the Beautiful Dead series...
