For a century, Nikki Beckett was asleep. Trapped in limbo as a Forfeit in the Everneath, she was used as sustenance for the immortal Cole, an Everliving who lured her to the underworld when she was at her most vulnerable. When Nikki wakes from the Feed, she has no recollection of who she is or where she came from – the only thing she has held on to is the memory of a boy’s face. Wanting nothing more than to see this boy again, Nikki Returns to the surface and the life she left behind.
For six months, on the surface, Nikki Beckett was missing – her family, friends, and boyfriend, Jack, had nearly given up on ever seeing her again when she turns up, malnourished and confused, on the floor of a convenience store. Slowly, Nikki tries to readjust to life on the surface despite knowing her time is running out – she has six months to find redemption before the Tunnels of Everneath claim her forever – that is, if Cole doesn’t get to her first.
