She wakes in a coffin with no name, no heartbeat, and a key around her neck

When Key wakes in darkness, she has no memory of her name, her life… or how she died.

Moments later, her grave gives way beneath her, and she falls into Under—a strange world buried beneath a cemetery, where the dead walk, the lost are renamed by the objects they carried into the grave, and no one remembers the world they left behind.

The only clue to Key’s identity is the rusted key hanging around her neck, and she finds herself inexplicably drawn to Smoke, a sharp-tongued man with stitches across his throat, an unlit cigar between his fingers, and words too smooth to trust.

Under is full of eerie souls, whispered secrets, and impossible questions. But when bodies begin turning up burned to ash, Key learns there is one way for the dead to die again. Now, with a killer moving through the dark and the truth of her past just out of reach, Key must uncover why she was buried with the key and what terrible secret lies beneath Under’s strange little town.

And whether the man called Smoke is her safest refuge… or the most beautiful danger of all.
