The Handler

● "Umbra Mortis... the Shade of Death, isn't quite dead—and, yet, she's not really alive, either. She only works for the dead. When Umbra's life ends prematurely, she is not ready to let it go, so she makes a deal with the Death Committee: If she takes the role as a Handler to help those who are caught between life and death... if she assists them on their way back to life or forward to the light, the Death Committee will give her a new life to live." ― quoted from this book's Amazon product page as 2025-09-13.
