"I believe there's a place where the restless souls wander. Burdened by the weight of their own sadness, they cannot enter Heaven...And so they wait, trapped between our world and the next, endlessly searching for a way to rid themselves of their pain, in the hopes that somehow, some day they will be reunited with the ones they love. Ashe feels the barbed wire cutting his wrists, chokes on the salt water filling his lungs. The pain of his last breath is just the beginning. He dies. And is reborn. Guided from the realm of the dead by a dark spirit, an avatar, Ashe wears the mask of the Crow. His enemies will feel his wrath. Good and evil, life and death, an intimate dance in the city of angels."--Back cover.
