BLURB:

I am going to do something that has never been done before.

My name is Telor Conway, and I am going to destroy Death. Bring her to her knees in front of me.

I don’t know how and I don’t know when.

The only thing I know for certain, is that nothing will come between me and my soul mate ever again.

I’ve been given a second chance at life, a life with Catalina. I’ve been given something worth fighting for.

I will fight for it, for her… for us. Even if it is the last thing I do.

I have thrown the gauntlet.

On your marks.

Get set.

Go.

EXCERPT:

Time had grated on me. Not because I hadn't enjoyed it, I had enjoyed every second of it, but because I couldn't help the nagging feeling in the back of my mind warning me to not become complacent. The other shoe would drop and it had. 

Destiny and Life have basically disappeared; I had their numbers but had been trying to convince myself I didn't need their help. I couldn't gamble like that, not with Catalina's life. Not with our future. If it took swallowing my pride, I would do it in a heartbeat. Oliver’s visit only solidified my decision further. I pulled my phone from my pocket and let my finger hover over Denny's name for a moment before I sighed and dialed it. 

It rang four times before it went to a generic voice mailbox that read his number back to me with instructions to leave a message. After the beep, I stayed silent for far too long, not sure exactly where to start. The only comfort I had was that Denny understood me like few in this world and the Other did. 

"This was too easy," I confessed out loud for the first time. Saying it made me feel like a failure. A failure that would get more than just myself killed. "I know Tori, better than I care to admit to. I knew she wouldn’t bow out gracefully. We need to talk. In person." 

I hung up, letting my confession speak for a plea in and of itself. Denny and Robin both risked a lot to keep us alive and together, I would have liked to think they would have a vested interest in us staying that way. I had made the call, now all I could do was wait for my plea to be heard and headed.

BLURB:

My name is Catalina Franklin. And I should be dead.

When Death called my number, sending one of her Guides to take my soul, she didn't count on one thing. The Guide she sent - He was made for me, and I for him. Pulling me back from the arms of Death, Telor changed my fate - and his. Now we're left with the question of not only how he's still here, but why. Will we get the answers we need? Or will Death find us first? Only time will tell...but ours is quickly running out.

EXCERPT:

Telor surveyed my room with a sad resigned smile, stopping to look at my pictures, running his hand over one of the many porcelain dolls on a shelf next to my dresser. I wondered what he was thinking, or if he would tell me the truth if I asked. The urge to comfort him was almost unbearable. Walking quietly over to him, I wrapped my arms around his middle and pulled him to me, resting my head on his back. 

“What’s the matter?” I asked. 

“Nothing,” he answered, though his voice was far away. He might have heard the question, but he wasn’t listening. 

“Liar,” I whispered. “Tell me.”

“Are you and your brother close?” he asked.

“We were. He’s dead,” I answered. I haven’t actually said that out loud for a long time. People were liars—it didn’t get easier. As much as it hurt to talk about Ollie, it hurt to watch Telor yearn for his lost ones more.  Ones he never really got to mourn. “He and my dad died in a car accident when I was eight. Oliver was only seventeen; he was nine years older than me.”

“Your mum?” he asked, his voice had gotten thicker. “She’s still around?”

I let out a short bark of humorless laughter. “She’s still alive. But my mother has been gone for a long time. When they died, she drowned her sorrow at the bottom of any bottle she could find. I remind her of the family she lost, so she can barely stand to look at me.”
