She's inexorably drawn to a man 99 percent of people fear - Death.

Niko Thanatose, a member of the death caste, is on a mission. He needs to release the soul of a mortal hiding amongst Harbor Mist's residents. That's going to be a neat trick considering the low mortality rate in the town. He'll break all the rules when he meets a woman who has lived under a cloud of lies and stirs a foreign emotion in his soul.

A foundling, Lyra has always been told she's an ancient, an immortal who is so rare on Earth that her kind is almost extinct. With no powers to speak of, she's the outcast that is accepted but not truly embraced by the people of Harbor Mist until the new undertaker shows up and rocks her world.

Time is ticking. The deadline is looming. Three days to catch his target before everything around him begins to die. Lyra included.
