My dark past was only a foreshadowing of my future. Once an ordinary girl, my life was forever altered when those I trusted the most gave into their dark desires. I was cast into the underworld, but I didn't belong there. And he knew it. The Reaper, the formidable ruler of this realm, spared me, sending me back to a human world I no longer recognized. I should have been grateful, but instead, I found myself missing the one who cast me out. And I wasn't the only one grappling with unexpected longing. The Reaper himself, against all reason, yearned for me. Consumed by this unfamiliar desire, he waged wars, devoured souls, and defied his nature, just to take a corporeal form and win my heart. But can a mortal woman truly love Death? And what happens when the heart I hold in my hands is the most dangerous thing of all?
