About this audiobook

Celeste Wren has survived for centuries, and she is tired of being the one life death refuses to finish. She has watched lovers age, kingdoms vanish, and children she once held become names softened by moss. When another funeral reminds her that even grief can be a privilege if it eventually ends, Celeste walks into the black river and asks Death for mercy. Death takes her wrist and fails to take her soul. The impossible encounter leaves a frost-white mark and a terrifying truth: Celeste was not blessed with immortality. She has somehow been misplaced by the law of endings itself. Rowan Ash is more than the figure mortals call Death. He is a keeper of the threshold, bound to rules older than Mournebridge, and Celeste's existence is a contradiction he cannot ignore. Their search for the missing thread of her mortality leads through grave roads, forbidden ledgers, restless spirits, and records that suggest someone interfered with Celeste's place in the world long ago. Attraction grows between a woman desperate for an ending and the man responsible for guiding every other soul toward one, but neither will accept love that becomes another sentence. Celeste wants the right to live or die by choice. Rowan must decide whether the laws he serves deserve obedience when they have already failed her. Some bonds survive death. Theirs begins because death could not find her at all.
Celeste Wren has survived for centuries, and she is tired of being the one life death refuses to finish. She has watched lovers age, kingdoms vanish, and children she once held become names softened by moss. When another funeral reminds her that even grief can be a privilege if it eventually ends...
