In Ferryman by Claire McFall, fifteen-year-old Dylan sets out to find her estranged father, but her train crashes in a tunnel, leaving her the sole survivor—or so she believes. Emerging into a haunting, barren wilderness, she encounters Tristan, a mysterious boy tasked with guiding souls safely across the wasteland to the afterlife. As demons stalk their every step, an impossible love blooms between them. Upon reaching the other side, Dylan faces an agonizing choice: embrace eternal peace alone, or risk everything to cross back through the deadly wasteland, defying fate itself for a love that transcends death.
