Astoria Tempest has lived countless lives, cursed with immortality and the power to return the dead. Her existence is a tapestry of grief and guilt, woven from the second chances she never had the right to give.

When she bargains her husband's soul to save their daughter, Death himself comes to collect. But Death is not a shadowy figure; he is a man with cold eyes and a ledger of names, with Astoria's at the top.

As she drifts through time, hiding and saving the dying, her quiet eternity begins to crumble. Out of options, Astoria strikes a deal: her soul in exchange for breaking the curse.

As she and Death travel the perilous road toward undoing the curse, their reluctant truce warps into something dangerous—tenderness, understanding, and even love.

Astoria must decide what she's truly willing to lose and whether Death might be more than just the end.

For fans of 'The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue' and 'A Dowry of Blood'.
