Redemption
Freya died believing she deserved Hell.
Years earlier, lost to addiction and desperation, she followed the wrong people into a home invasion that ended in bloodshed. The homeowners were murdered, and their young daughter was left alive to witness the aftermath.
Freya’s soul is taken to Veti, a realm where the dead are judged and punishment is eternal. Unlike the others condemned there, she does not fight her fate. She accepts the suffering as payment for the life she destroyed, but she never forgets the girl whose world she shattered.
Then the impossible happens.
A violent rupture tears Freya from the afterlife and throws her back into the world of the living. She crashes into a rural field in upstate New York, witnessed by Detective Asher Stanton, who suddenly finds himself the only person who knows a dead woman has returned.
Freya believes her return can mean only one thing: a chance to make things right.
She sets out to find the girl she wronged, hoping she may find redemption, not for herself but for the life she destroyed.
But Freya’s escape from death has not gone unnoticed. Powerful forces are already searching for the soul that should never have returned, and the truth behind her death and resurrection may threaten far more than her own fate.

About the author
Ross Evans
3 books1 followerRoss Evan was born on Long Island, shaped by the wide horizons of Tucson, and tempered by years traveling and working across distant parts of the world. An IT engineer specializing in AV and video communication, he spent his early career building systems that carried voices across continents, long before he began exploring the deeper connections between worlds, creation, and the unseen forces that bind them.
His journey eventually led him to Tennessee, where the quiet landscape made room for a story that had followed him from place to place, always whispering. That whisper became Trading Existence: Awakening, a tale forged from wanderlust, wonder, and a lifelong sense that our world is only a single reflection of something older and far more vast.
At the heart of Ross’s work is Brooke; the love who ignited his belief in himself, the one who inspires him every day to become the man he strives to be. Even when life pulls them across great distances or through the shifting realms of their own journeys, her presence and love remains the spark that makes creation possible.
Ross writes from the threshold between what is known and what lies beyond, crafting stories that don’t just imagine other worlds, they reveal them.
