"Bold, brave, imaginative and unflinching." Ava must fight an entity locked in on taking out the crew of the Eden, a moon-sized cemetery in space, as it brings back the souls of the dead buried aboard. One such soul is Ava's lost love, Roland. The spirits of the interred on the Eden haunt those aboard, including a visiting musician is tasked with writing a new song for the dead. Her Requiem calls a cosmic entity that illuminates their darkest fears and secrets. One by one, they're driven mad. Ava fights her grief and must rise up before they're lost and the entity reaches Earth.
