The Reaper comes for Lyra Vale at midnight, a creature of frost and shadow with eyes like dying stars, ready to claim her soul as he has every Vale before her. But when her touch ignites something long-dead within him, the ancient laws of life and death shatter. Lyra, a princess trained in daggers and defiance, finds herself with an impossible choice: surrender to a fate that dooms her kingdom, or exploit the forbidden connection she shares with the very being sent to unmake her. With only three days until the Veil falls and her world drowns in darkness, Lyra must navigate a deadly dance with Ash, the Reaper who remembers warmth only when she is near. Can she break a god's curse and save her people, or will her desperate gamble unleash a power neither she nor the Reaper can control?
