A hopeless task, made all the worse by the bad blood between her and Thanatos. ![]() When Lazarus crosses paths with the three other horsemen, an unthinkable situation leads to a terrible deal: seduce Death, save the world. And the longer she tries to stop him from his killing spree, the stronger the desire becomes. Nor can he ignore the unsettling desire he has for her. The one soul he cannot pry free from her flesh. ![]() She is the one soul Death doesn’t recognize. But Lazarus has her own extraordinary gift: she cannot be killed-not by humans, not by the elements, not by Death himself. The day Death comes to Lazarus Gaumond’s town and kills everyone in one fell swoop, the last thing he expects to see is a woman left alive and standing. And then, of course, there’s the one I’m all too familiar with. Cover of Death by Laura Thalassa on Kindle Oasis Synopsis: ![]()

We could not stand to go down to the water where the salt air was heavier still, and a long drive into the city felt like an offensive impossibility. It was only June, but summer already lay heavy on the ground, threatening to press us softly and heavily towards the parquet floors.
