Aiden Voss was never meant to matter. Until a glowing book made him bleed. One drop of blood, and he is torn from his ordinary life and thrown into the final moments of another man’s death. Sometimes he feels the rope tighten around his neck. Sometimes poison burns through his veins. Sometimes a blade slides between his ribs. Each time, he becomes the unjustly killed. Forced to relive their last breaths, Aiden must uncover the truth behind their murders — or die with them. Every soul he carries grants him their memories, their skills, and their secrets… but nothing is free. Every return to his own world costs him a piece of himself: time, youth, and humanity. As Aiden dives deeper into the Library’s cursed collection, ancient forces begin to notice him. Not every soul calling for justice is innocent. Some are ancient dark souls, cursed and forgotten for centuries — and they hunger for a new vessel. Now he has become The Librarian of Lost Souls — the last hope for the unjustly dead, and the target of forces that want him silenced forever. He once dreamed of escaping his boring life. Now he’s living the deaths of others… and the dead are starting to follow him home.
