The Vessels


Book Description

NOT EVERY SPIRIT SEEKS REDEMPTION. NOT EVERY VESSEL WILL SURVIVE. What if you could help those who've passed on get a second chance--but at the risk of your own life? Four broken strangers volunteer to become the first humans in North America to join the international VESSELS program. Their bodies will host the Spirits who seek to right past wrongs and earn a chance at Elysium. Disguised inside a homeless shelter in Reno, the program is facilitated by a retired Army officer, a former ER Doctor, and a tech-savvy teen who tracks the Spirits merged with their Vessels through an ancient ritual on the Anaho Reservation. The Vessels only have seven days to succeed--and to survive. But when the vengeful spirit of a serial killer enters one of them, they learn not all Spirits are here for redemption.
