Micheline Helsing is a descendant of Van Helsing, the
original monster hunter. She's also a tetrachromat which means she can see the
auras of the dead. She captures their energy in silver, specifically the silver
in photographic film and paper. Micheline's one of many monster hunters who
keep the undead out of our world and protect humans from zombies. The story
takes place in an alternate version of today's San Francisco. Micheline thinks
she's got a routine haunting under control, but her risky choices gets her and
her team, Oliver, Ryder and Jude all infected by a deadly soulchain. Now her
father's got her on lockdown while she and her friends have less than seven
days to figure out how to stop the soulchain infection.
This is a spooky tale that lets the reader's imagination
run wild with "what ifs." What if ghosts were real, how would we deal
with them today? What kind of technologies would we use? What kind of people
would the Van Helsings have been? We see this world through Micheline's eyes,
as she strives to live up to her father's expectations and save her best
friends.
