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.
