Kiss me ang die

Mara is the Deadly Bride—a reaper bound by the Maker's contract to harvest seven hundred souls in exchange for her sister Lila's soul. With only three hundred and nine souls left to collect, she is sent to reap a man named Caelan, branded by the Queen of the Dead as the most dangerous threat in Veilhaven. But when she touches him, her death-force fails for the first time in seven hundred lives. He doesn't die. He calls her by her name. And between them, a strange resonance ignites—one that wakes an ancient stalker named Julian, who has hunted Mara's soul across a thousand lifetimes. What follows is a chase through gothic ruins, sealed death-gates, crumbling alchemy workshops, and the underworld itself. Mara discovers that Caelan is not her target—he is her other half. They were once one being, the original balance of life and death, until Cyrus—the gatekeeper she called father—tore them apart to steal immortality for himself. To save her sister and reclaim her stolen self, Mara must confront Julian's obsessive love, the Queen's desperate cage, and the man who raised her only to use her as a lock for his eternal trap. Death is no longer a weapon. Love is no longer a weakness. And the kiss that once killed now brings her back to life.
