In a world hidden from ordinary humans, ghosts, witches, demons, and cursed beings are not judged by fate-they are judged by law.
Adrian Elias Vale is one of the few attorneys licensed to practice in the Spirit Court, a mysterious tribunal that exists between Heaven and Hell. His clients are the dead, the forgotten, and the supernatural beings whom everyone else has already condemned.
His creed is simple:
"No soul should be judged without being heard."
Assigned to every case is Cassian Noctis, the last Balance Keeper-an ancient being older than angels and demons whose duty is to preserve the balance of the afterlife without favor or mercy.
One believes every soul deserves a second chance.
The other believes every verdict must remain impartial.
As impossible cases unfold and an ancient conspiracy begins to unravel, Adrian and Cassian discover that the greatest threat isn't a demon... or even Hell itself.
Someone is rewriting the laws that govern the afterlife.
Now, the attorney who defends lost souls and the last guardian of Balance must decide whether justice is worth risking Heaven, Hell... and their own hearts.
