Hard headed and wholly convinced her family is cursed, she is ready to follow her brother into an early grave when an unexpected guest reveals something more painful than all her grief. The truth. But it may just serve as a means to save her life should she choose to live.

CHARLES RILEY was gifted his life without knowing the cost.

Now he could waste the life he was given or he could enjoy it, but he owes Death a favor. One where he finds himself immersed in a world full of wonder and art with a girl whose sharp eyes force him to accept parts of himself he'd rather keep hidden.

DEATH is an immortal with a job to do. It is that simple.

His thousands of years of life have been vastly uneventful until his two wards uncover a mess of his secrets to uproot both of their lives. Death may not know everything, but what he does know is that there is no living if you aren't living fully and he can only hope his wards realize it.
