About this story
It reads like a first-year showing off — until the vows spoken on stage turn out to be a binding contract, and the applause never comes. Twenty-five chapters of sharp banter, a palace of mirrors and past lives, and a devotion that starts to look less like romance than a threat.
Who you’ll meet
Death, who steps out of the shadows to become the reader's love interest, shown here with the trickster Fate held at a clear distance.
