It’s been twenty-five years since she sealed the Hellgate.
Now, it’s time to stop the apocalypse. Again.

Meg Walker, grunge queen and ‘80s rebel, thought she’d quit the whole “chosen one” gig for good. After a disaster of a senior year, she flipped destiny the bird and skipped town. But on her 42nd birthday, she gets a psychic call from her old best friend—the one who’s been in a coma for years. Someone’s trying to open the Hellgate.

Meg heads home, ready or not—it’s time to confront the life she left behind. Old friends, bitter grudges, and a mountain of unresolved emotional baggage are waiting. She’s about to learn that the (second) apocalypse might actually be the least of her problems.

Is it possible confronting the demons from your past is worse than actual demons?
