In this novella sequel to the New York Times–bestselling Shadowshaper, a couple is reunited by a missing black girl, a ghost haunting a newspaper office.

Trying to shake off the strange malaise that separates her from even her girlfriend Izzy, Tee decides to take over the Bed-Stuy Searchlight for the summer. But then she finds an alluring violet dress in the newspaper office, and a cute ghost girl no one else can see.

Izzy can tell Tee’s drifting away from her—she misses Izzy’s shows and skips shadowshaper practice—and she won’t stand for it. Yet when a girl goes missing in Bed-Stuy, Izzy needs Tee to get the word out and help investigate. Can they break through their distance and reconnect before someone else dies?
