Starving on the mean streets of Victorian London, tenacious little tomboy Gretchen doesn't think her desperate, hard-scrabble life could possibly get worse. Then, she's murdered. As her blood pools beneath her, Gretchen finds her immortal soul peeled from the cobblestones and flung into the back of a Purgatory truck—the clattering, rattling vehicles that loop the highways and byways between Heaven, Hell, and all the other undying realms. Gretchen's saving grace is her (relatively) virtuous soul. Tough, smart and protective, she's earned herself a set of wings—but only if she can endure her ride through purgatory first. That's not so easy, when the driver of the truck is a sadistic demon with a whip that can flay your very soul, two desperate prisoners are planning an ill-fated mutiny, and the only voice of reason on this journey is a demon of torture who's just trying to do his damned job. Gretchen's spent her life fighting for survival—and she lost. But now that her mortal life is behind her, the stakes have never been higher. To save their very souls, Gretchen and her merry band of fellow prisoners are going to have to strap in, hold tight, and see this ride through to the very end.
