The country of Kythia is at the mercy of Satian unless...unless they bend the rules. The notorious son of the King of Kythia, Prince Aiden, plots the perfect plan against Satian- hold the Crown Princess of Satian hostage until the King of Satian agrees that the Kingdom of Orpath will fall at the feet of one nation- Kythia. Satian has a dark secret to help it win the upcoming war against Kythia. The ruthless Kythians will stop at nothing to figure out what it is- even if it means killing the Crown Princess of Satian. Everything in the plan is perfect...until it isn't. Prince Aiden planned for the kidnapping of the princess. He planned to wring the information out of her by any means necessary. What he didn't plan was getting dragged into the battlefield of twisted lies and prickly truths of the past, along with the princess he had made prisoner.

Gray McCarter is a pretty popular guy. In fact, he's so popular he's attracted the attention of Alpha High School's newest student, Alice Westerly. She's cute, witty, friendly and Death. Well, Interim Death. Yikes. When a new God lends Alice the power of death itself in the form of an object called the Death Coin, a curious anomaly brings her to high school and to the one known as Gray McCarter. Their fates intertwine, especially as mysterious enemies try to claim the Death Coin for themselves. The bodies will pile up. You'd think staying alive would be easy with Death on your side. Or would that make dying easier? Uh-oh.
