Publisher's Synopsis
Boy meets girl. Boy isn't supposed to interfere in girl's life. Boy can't help himself. Girl's life goes sideways quick. Life is about the little, seemingly inconsequential moments as much as it is about those big destructive, life-altering seconds that string together a story, a personal history. Omens carry the responsibility and the terrible burden of collecting those stories.Baker's life ended in 1915 and he became something ... more. Baker is a hundred and thirty-something-year-old bitter and complicated Omen, forced to bear witness and collect the personal histories of seemingly random people. Cosmic retribution for a life ill-lived. Penance is a hurtful bitch and Baker is all too happy to meet his end, having nearly completed his obligation. Until he comes face-to-face with his next Story, Matlyn Wren.
