Rees’s Gate

About the Book

For countless year civilizations have perplexed over what lies just beyond the veil of death. There is no greater mystery in life than that which happens when life ends. What if you are simply given a second chance? What if you have already reached your second chance but just don’t realize it yet? If you’ve ever met Rees, the Gatekeeper of Greed in Purgatory, you are already dead. You have already failed your first attempt at salvation. The good news is you no longer have to be worried about paying your taxes. The bad news is no one ever has the opportunity to better themselves or their current situation in this Purgatory. This is mostly due to the fact that no one ever realizes they are dead, and Purgatory is run by those corrupted by absolute power. At least this is what Rees believes since he has been at the same dead-end job forever. This is what he would be willing to bet his afterlife on until he meets someone worthy of a fate much better than this. One thing becomes perfectly clear to Rees after he meets Olivia Bowman. That is, he will do anything to save her. Or is it she who will end up saving him?
