The Last Symphony

It's not stealing if it's a family heirloom. That's what seventeen-year-old Thia tells herself when she pawns her grandmother's still-in-the-box collectable. How else is she to feed herself when her mom's gone on another bender and her brother's working to not even cover the bills?

The clock on her life starts ticking down faster when a being who isn't-quite-human enters her kitchen, informing her about a deal her brother made. If she wants him to live, her only option is to sign a new contract to spare his life - in exchange for her own.

But with this curse, she unlocks new dreams. A tall dark stranger with vibrant eyes that swallow her soul. She embarks on a journey into her reaper's world and finds employment with a familiar face. As she separates from her past, she starts to see how there's more to life than just surviving. She thought she understood the terms of her agreement, but as she anchors herself to the new world, she finds she isn't quite ready to sacrifice her life for another.
