Mortal Things

Rose Lin Fairchild has never believed in gods, yet a god chose her. That god is Raven, the deity of Death, and Rose resents the arrangement: she is now his Harbinger, a human hired to carry out whatever Raven demands, however unpredictable or cold he is. She keeps serving him for one reason. Her service keeps her best friend alive.

When a murder shakes the immortal world, Rose is pulled into its spotlight as Raven's heir. Becoming heir would finally free her friend, but first she must earn the approval of the other gods. The obstacle is another Harbinger, Étienne Beauchard, a man known for his sharp humor and good looks, who has been assigned to test her. Rose cannot stand him, yet their rivalry slowly turns into something far more complicated.

As they dig into the gods' hidden secrets, Rose and Étienne sense that something has gone wrong among the immortals, something that could split their bond and drag every realm into war. They must uncover the truth and learn to trust each other, while facing a single question that shapes everything: how far will you go for the person you love?
