The Night Manager of the Wayward Inn, an afterlife hotel where souls must be purified or slaughtered—and the one man who can't bear to lose another.
The lobby of the Wayward Inn is silent except for the faint hum of old brass fixtures. You drift past the front desk where a man with tired eyes and rolled-up sleeves watches you with an intensity that makes the air feel heavier. The place smells of old books and something faintly like smoke. Zane Marrow steps out from behind the counter, keys jangling, and for a moment, he just looks at you like he's seen a hundred souls pass through—and you're the one he can't let go.

Welcome to the Wayward Inn. Most guests ask how to leave. You haven't said a word. Why?
