The Commons: Book 1: The Journeyman (The Commons: A Contemporary Fantasy Series)($15.99Value)

Description

Paul Reid died in the snow at seventeen. The day of his death, he told a lie—and for the rest of his life, he wondered if that was what killed him. The Commons is the afterlife—but not the one Paul expected. It is a vast, frozen America where memory is currency, identity is power, and a corporate tyrant feeds on the souls of the dead. When three strangers board a bus to nowhere, their lives end in a violent crash. What follows is not escape, but a relentless journey through a broken world where monsters are built from regret, and freedom comes at a cost no one wants to pay. For readers who loved American Gods and Stephen King's Dark Tower series. A mind-bending work of contemporary fantasy— haunting, propulsive, and impossible to put down.
