To Be Loved By Death by JasmyneJay at Inkitt

Summary

To Be Loved By Death A love story between a mortal boy and the end of all things. The day Elira dies, her ten-year-old son, Damian, sees Death for the first time. Not a shadow. Not a story. A woman with moonstone skin and half-silver hair, watching his mother’s final breath. And she sees him too. Drawn by something she cannot name, Death reaches for the boy. But when Damian touches her hand, something ancient fractures—something fate once sealed. From that moment on, Damian is no longer just a grieving child. He is a thread spun wrong. A name the Fates dare not speak aloud. The one soul Death cannot bring herself to take. As Damian grows, so does their bond—twisting through dreams, grief, and the quiet spaces between life and afterlife. But the gods are watching. And not all are pleased. Death has always walked alone—courted by immortals, untouched by love. Now whispers speak of a mortal boy destined to claim her heart. Damian is hunted. Not for who he is—but for who he dares to love. In a world where the divine war for power and fate is stitched with silence, To Be Loved By Death is a darkly lyrical romantasy about the terror of destiny, the tenderness of grief, and the boy who defied oblivion… for love.

Author’s Note

Hi, I’m Jasmyne! I’m so glad you’re here.

To Be Loved by Death is a deeply personal story about grief, healing, and the kind of love that was never meant to exist. It begins with the childhood of a boy consumed by sorrow, until he meets a divine goddess who has never known human emotion. Two beings from different worlds, drawn together by something they can’t explain, willing to stake everything on love.

This isn’t a fast-paced story. It’s quiet, emotional, and slow-building, with heavy themes and intimate moments. It takes you through everything; even the little things. The silences. The looks. The pauses that speak volumes. This is about a connection like no other.

You’ll fall in love. You’ll ache. You’ll heal. And maybe, you’ll never look at love—or death—the same way again.

If that’s your kind of read, I hope you’ll stay and join me on this journey.

If you enjoy the story, and I truly believe you will—please vote, comment, share, and show some love. It helps more than you know, and I’d love to hear what parts speak to you.

Thank you for giving this little world a chance. Thank you for reading.

Once again, welcome to To Be Loved by Death.
