Death's Lullaby

Cover made by SaniaKasegel.
It is said that when we die the last thing we might hear is a lullaby. This lullaby is said to have killed people, but no one has survived the song to tell the tale. The only being that knows the truth is Death himself, for he is the one that sings this lullaby that makes us cross to our final resting place. Death knows who will die at the exact time and place from his Death List. All Death has to do is collect our souls, carry them to our final resting places, and repeat. That's it. Falling in love with a mortal on Death Row was never in the cards for Death though. Upon seeing this mortal girl he becomes infatuated with her and because of this, he spares her life. Upon his actions, Death was booted out of his position of being the Devil's right hand man and is sent to Earth to live out his days as a human.

Arabella Jules, the girl that everyone notices, but on the inside she is dying. She can't take the pressure of all of the expectations in her life anymore and she is slowly forgetting the lovable and carefree person that she use to be. The day a new boy comes to school and teaches her to live a little turns her whole life around, but when will she figure out that he is Death himself?

Joe Sanders, the gravedigger for Indy Ville for over thirty years, is also on Death Row. Upon digging a grave one night he finds a strange boy sitting on one of the headstones. After he found out that his parents were dead and he was completely lost he decides to take the boy into his home and become the grandfather figure that the boy had never known in his life, but will his death come sooner than planned with Death himself in his home?

Three lives are intertwined in this tale of love, loss, and death. Will Death earn his spot back on his throne? Will Arabella fall in love with the boy that has somehow changed her life or write him off as no good? And what will become of Joe when he tries to put Death on the path of good?
