The Deadly Knight Rises

She runs from me at every turn... But I will always find her.

I am Death but cannot be killed. I’m alive, but a skeleton of the man I used to be. This is the price I paid for invincibility. With that curse came eternal winter over all the lands and the bitter chill of life without the simple act of human touch … until Linora Beckett stumbled into my arms and didn’t die. I want her. But to have her, I must betray my queen, chase my temptress across the kingdom, and fend off those who would harm her. As if that wasn't impossible enough, I must woo her to my bed.

His despicable manners are a mirror of his soul… But our union could save all humankind.

I am Life but I feel dead inside. All I’ve ever wanted is to blend in with society, but people call me the White Witch and stare at me with mistrust. I didn’t ask for my gifts or the notice of the queen. She wants me to break the curse of eternal winter, but to do so, I must mate with Death of my free will.

Our child will bring a new dawn or thrust our kingdom into its darkest hour yet. But can I give myself to the one being incapable of love?
