Radiance is the first book of the Riley Bloom Series written by Alyson Noël, which is a spin-off of The Immortals.

Riley Bloom crossed the bridge into the afterlife following a car crash - with her parents and her beloved dog, Buttercup.

Riley meets The Council where she is assigned a job as a Soul Catcher, with weird but maybe cute boy as her guide whose name is Bodhi.

Her first assignment will take her back to earth, to everything she's left behind - where she must find the Radiant Boy, a ten-year-old, long - lost spirit in the haunting castles of England for centuries, who doesn't want to move on.

In the midst of this wildly fanciful setting, Noël is able to capture with nail-on-the-head accuracy common worries and concerns of today’s tweens.
