Ever since Cass almost drowned (okay, she did drown, but she doesn't like to think about it), she can pull back the Veil that separates the living from the dead...and enter the world of spirits. Her best friend is even a ghost. So things are already pretty strange. But they're about to get much stranger. When Cass's parents start hosting a TV show about the world's most haunted places, the family heads off to Edinburgh, Scotland. Here, graveyards, castles, and secret passageways teem with restless phantoms. And then Cass meets a girl who shares her "gift"....

Depois de conhecer os fantasmas de Edimburgo e os poltergeists de Paris, Cass acha que está pronta para qualquer tipo de situação sobrenatural. Mas nada poderia prepará-la para Nova Orleans. Uma cidade de passeios fantasmagóricos, tumbas, funerais embalados a jazz, dezenas de cemitérios e todos os tipos de magia. Uma perdição quando se fala de lendas locais terríveis. E esses nem estão perto de serem os maiores problemas de Cass.

Cassidy Blake vive uma rotina simples e tranquila com seus pais no subúrbio. Sua vida é perfeitamente normal—exceto pelo fato de ela conseguir se mover, através do Véu, entre o mundo dos vivos e o dos mortos e por ter como melhor amigo Jacob, um fantasma.

Imagine um lugar onde os mortos repousam em prateleiras, como os livros. Cada corpo tem uma história para contar, uma vida disposta em imagens que apenas os Bibliotecários podem ler. Aqui, os mortos são chamados de Histórias, e o vasto domínio onde eles descansam é conhecido como o Arquivo. Mackenzie Bishop é uma implacável Guardiã, cuja tarefa é impedir Histórias geralmente violentas de acordar e fugir do Arquivo. Naqueles domínios, os mortos jamais devem ser perturbados, mas alguém parece estar, deliberadamente, alterando Histórias e apagando seus trechos essenciais.

Die Friedhöfe, Burgen und Geheimgänge der alten Stadt wimmeln nur so vor Geistern - und nicht alle sind freundlich. An diesem unheimlichen Ort wird Cassidy langsam klar, wie viel sie noch über ihre Verbindung zum Reich der Toten zu lernen hat.

Cass (plus her ghost best friend, Jacob) is in Paris, where Cass’s parents are filming their show about the world’s most haunted cities. Sure, it’s fun eating croissants and seeing the Eiffel Tower, but there’s true ghostly danger lurking beneath Paris, in the creepy underground Catacombs. When Cass awakens a frighteningly strong spirit, she must rely on her still-developing skills as a ghost hunter - and turn to friends both old and new to help her unravel a mystery. But time is running out, and the spirit is only growing stronger.

Aria Blue seems like an ordinary 12-year-old. She loves music, and colorful shoelaces, and taste-testing various types of cookies. But there is much more to Aria than meets the eye.

To find and guide three different girls - Gabby, Caroline, and Mikayla - through their different problems. If she succeeds, Aria will earn her wings.
