A Bountiful Garden

On one peculiar and terrifying night, the specters came to stay. Nearly two decades have passed since a strange aurora covered the world and brought millions of ghosts into the land of the living. Hunting, whispering, and efforts to keep the peace between those on both sides of the mortal coil has become a business, but not everyone agrees with how Central Specter Research-often callously-conducts its operations. Brendan Vinter, a guardian of a spectral girl named Neche, was forever changed by a traumatic childhood event that gave him the gift to send specters to the beyond with a single touch. Now a whisperer in Green Bay, a sudden offer tempts him to give CSR a chance. But the company is planning the next phase of spectral exploitation, and his unique secret places his own life at risk.
