She has seven days to live. He has an eternity to wait. But when Death finally comes for her, he realizes he's not ready to say goodbye.
Liss has been dying for years. Cursed with a soul-rot that baffles doctors and mystics alike, she has made peace with the ticking clock. She has lived a lifetime in hospital rooms, painting landscapes she will never visit and dreaming of a world that doesn't hurt.
Soren is the Prince of the Veil, the Reaper tasked with shepherding souls to the other side. He is ancient, emotionless, and inevitable. He has collected a billion souls without faltering. But when he steps into Liss's room to claim her, something impossible happens: she sees him. She touches him. And she refuses to go.
Intrigued by the woman who defies the natural order, Soren offers a bargain: come willingly to his realm, and he will grant her a chance to rewrite her fate. But the Veil is a gray, silent city of judgment, and the price of Liss's life might be Soren's immortality.
As the sand in Liss's hourglass runs out, the Reaper who has never felt anything finds himself terrified of the silence that will follow her final breath. He was sent to end her life. Instead, she became the only thing worth living for.
"I asked Death if he was afraid of the dark. He looked at me with eyes like winter and said, 'Only since I found a light I couldn't bear to extinguish.'"
