Returning to Ilya wasn't part of Mara's plan, but since when does Death shy away from a good challenge?
That's why, when the king makes a radical and disconcerting decision, her curiosity gets the better of her and leads her to the castle. Before living with him in Mors, she wants to know what led him to make such a choice, and nothing prepares her for what she is about to discover...
But being with him and observing daily life in the castle also helps Mara remember that there is much more to life than just the last breath. There is, among many other things, love… However, even the purest feelings are capable of awakening dormant desires for revenge and the perpetual thirst for power.
Inevitably, fate must claim each soul in its own time – to live, to reign, to love… and, of course, to die.
