It's time to toss out the Top Ramen. Larkin Nash never had a fairy godmother. The doctorate degree she just earned, she earned on her own, sacrificing everything to avoid a monstrous student debt.

As one of Culloden’s 79 ghosts who have been granted another taste of life, Brodrick Shaw has already failed his mortal quest. If he hadn’t wasted time arguing with a certain witch, he might have arrived in time to save a man’s life. All he can do now is wait for that witch to collect him and send him on to God’s judgment.
