Our world, as you've never seen it before
As Death's adopted daughter, Avalia has grown to learn the secrets of this life and the afterlife. But it's both a blessing and a curse, as the human girl can never truly be a part of her father's dominion, nor can she share her world with any mere mortal. True love is forever beyond her reach.
Which is fine for Ava -- she doesn't believe in it anyway.
Resigned to her loneliness, fate delivers a cruel twist when Noric, her father's most powerful reaper, strides into her manor one spring evening. She'd have to be a fool to give the beautiful death-dealer her heart. But the only way it wouldn't belong to Noric is if that organ stopped beating.
Which, incidentally, is the crux of the issue.
When a mortal and an immortal fall in love, the end comes too soon for one, and the agony burns eternal, for the other.
As their desire intensifies and frustration builds, the question plagues Ava's mind...
...Why, throughout her whole life, has Death never allowed his adoptive daughter to meet his reapers before?
