A car crash on Meridian's sixteenth birthday brings the revelation that she's a Fenestra, a half-angel who helps the dying transition to the afterlife. Aided by her similarly gifted great-aunt and the attractive but irascible Tens, Meridian fights to protect innocent souls from the evil Aternocti. A satisfying balance of answered and unanswered questions allows for tantalizing possibilities.
