Death was not born. He was made.
When a grieving boy accepts an offer from a stranger in the dark, he trades his future for vengeance and wakes to eternity.
Cursed with immortality and charged with taking lives, he becomes Death itself, wandering centuries with no memory of who he once was, only one unbreakable rule: he must never remember his name.
Then he meets Clara.
Clara is mortal, fragile, and already dying. Drawn to Death by forces neither of them fully understand, she begins to uncover the truth behind his past, chasing fragments of the boy he used to be. But love was never part of the bargain, and some truths were buried for a reason.
As Clara's time runs out, Death is forced to choose between eternal existence and a single, devastating moment of humanity. Because remembering who he was will end the curse... and end him.
A gothic tale of love, memory, and the cost of immortality, Death's Mortal is a tragic fantasy about what it means to live, what it means to die, and the unbearable beauty of choosing both.
