Bound by a death‐deity’s pact, Tessa must gain her elder brother Damon’s company on her eighteenth birthday to survive. Yet Damon dotes on their adopted sister and brushes off her desperate pleas cruelly. Overcome with despair, Tessa perishes and witnesses her brother’s belated remorse after death. Refusing to forgive the past, she is reborn under Death’s protection into a brand‐new life filled with love.
