About this ebook

A man returns from the dead, to the life and love he left behind one year ago, in this prequel story to the New York Times–bestselling The Returned.
From the National Book Award–winning author of Hell of a Book
It's been just over a year since Edmund Blithe died, and just over a month since his fiancée, Emily, stopped wearing her engagement ring. Emily has finally begun to move on . . . until Edmund mysteriously and inexplicably returns, sending the world—and Emily—into a tailspin.
Edmund is only just the beginning. Around the world, people's loved ones are returning from beyond, seeking only to reenter the lives they left behind. As the world dives deep into uncertainty, Emily and Edmund are determined to find their way back to one another . . . even if it means risking everything.
Don't miss The Sparrow, where the reappearances continue.
