The House of Life and Death

Enter the House of Life & Death If You Dare

Elise Chow's ordinary life ends in a tragic accident on the most haunted night of the year. But death is merely the beginning. She awakens in the House of Life, a hidden celestial bureaucracy where the dead are judged, guarded, and hunted according to ancient, unforgiving laws.

Meanwhile, Ian Bennet, a young man raised in this sprawling coastal metropolis, stumbles upon a faded red diary. Inside are letters from a German soldier stationed in the Far East during the Great War—letters that unravel a buried mystery linking Elise, Ian, and a forgotten siege that reshaped the region.

As Elise navigates the treacherous courts of the afterlife and Ian races to decode the past, they attract the attention of soul reapers, restless colonial-era soldiers, and a vengeful warlord who refuses to fade into history. To break the curse binding their families across generations, they must uncover the truth behind the diary—and the true purpose of the House of Life.
