About THE DEATH GOD'S LEDGER
The Death God's Ledger is a dark romantasy about forbidden bargains, impossible love, and the terrifying cost of refusing to let someone die.
When her fourteen-year-old brother is poisoned and no healer can save him, Seraphine Voss turns to the one power her kingdom has forbidden anyone to approach: the Veil between life and death.
There she meets Ashgrave, the immortal Reaper Sovereign who governs the Ledger of Souls. He offers her a simple bargain. Her brother will live, but every life stolen back from death must be balanced by an equivalent price.
Seraphine agrees before she understands what that means.
First, the Ledger takes part of her hearing. Then it begins reaching for her memories, her senses, her remaining years, and eventually the soul behind them. Every additional day her brother survives brings Seraphine closer to becoming someone who can no longer remember what she sacrificed herself to protect.
Ashgrave should be nothing more than the cold executor of that bargain. Instead, the immortal ruler begins breaking rules he has obeyed for centuries, while Seraphine discovers that he was once human and carries the consequences of another forbidden act of love buried deep within his forgotten past.
Meanwhile, the powerful lord responsible for her brother's poisoning is determined to silence the last witnesses to his crimes, and Ashgrave's growing attachment to a mortal threatens his own position beyond the Veil.
With the final collection approaching, Seraphine faces an impossible choice: surrender the last piece of herself to save her brother, or challenge the ancient law that insists every life must be paid for with another loss.
The Death God's Ledger combines dark fantasy, forbidden romance, supernatural mystery, political danger, and a progressively escalating magical bargain in which every miracle creates another debt.
