When Milos and his team go to work for Mary, creating terror in the living world, Allie and Mikey team up with Nick to take one last stand against Mary-at Graceland.Īfter her seeming defeat, Mary returns to Everlost, using her skinjackers to sow chaos and terror across the western United States, replenishing her stock of Afterlights. Allie, who has learned to “skinjack” (possess and take over a living human body), meets a team of skinjackers led by the charming Milos. Meanwhile, Allie heads for home with Mikey, the boy she loves-formerly the monstrous McGill, now returned to human form. Even though she still loves Nick, she sees his actions as the ultimate betrayal. But Mary Hightower finds purpose in gathering these Afterlights to her, and wants to control all of Everlost. Nick has made it his mission to help children escape from Everlost to the light at the end of the tunnel. But as Nick falls in love with Mary, and Allie comes to know the McGill, they begin to wonder which one is the real monster.
They also hear stories of a monster called the McGill, a fearsome creature searching for souls to devour. Along the way they spend time with Mary Hightower, who has made it her mission to save and comfort all the lost children of this inter-world, whom she has named “Afterlights”.
The bickering Allie and Nick, traveling with their new friend Lief, head toward their homes. When teens Allie and Nick are killed in a car crash, it isn’t the end of their story, but the beginning: they wake up in Everlost, a world poised between life and death, superimposed on the living world and populated only by the souls of children.
