Summary
A prequel for my original novel, Burden of the Reluctant Death.
Elias wasted his first chance at life. He's determined not to make the same mistake twice. When he's resurrected as a Mortae and is tasked with consuming human souls, he discovers that the best wishes are the ones sometimes left unanswered.
He falls in with Theodore, the roguish and sullen Prince of the Resurrected, and Gemma, his sharp-tongued lover. The three of them navigate the treacherous (and sometimes terribly mundane) afterlife, learning time and time again that Death is inevitable, and she does not forgive.
