The Art of Death

Death is no stranger to Everlee. She's escaped death quite a bit in her lifetime but at some point, the running has to stop. Diagnosed with Stage III Sarcoma, 22 year old Everlee was prepared for death. She said her goodbyes. She accepted her fate. A diligent bookworm, Everlee found her adventures in the pages of a book rather than the real world so when the time came, she was ready for the adventure of a lifetime-death.

Maddox is death. He's been in the business for 200 years so he's not an amateur. He is distant as he believes this is the only way he can efficiently collect souls. He is quite good at his job. He considers himself the master at transitioning souls into the afterlife. However, Emotions are dangerous to Maddox. Mortals are even more dangerous to Maddox.

It's not Maddox's first roller coaster when he is sent to steal the soul of a delicate 3 year old. This 3 year old escapes death. This 3 year old grows into a 15 year old struggling with depression. Maddox goes to collect her once again only to have her escape. This 15 year older emerges as a stubborn, highly intelligent, and quiet woman of the age 22 who is diagnosed with Osteosarcoma. She cannot and will not escape death again.
