Thanatos - Paperback

by Eva Pohler (Author)

She kissed Death. Now he won't let her go.

​

Seventeen-year-old Therese Mills survives the unthinkable.

​

After a brutal attack leaves her parents dead and her heart barely beating, Therese slips into a coma-and crosses a boundary no living soul should cross.

​

In the shadowed realm between life and death, she meets him.

​

Thanatos.

​

Beautiful. Dangerous. Eternal.

​

He is Death-son of Hades-tasked with escorting souls to the Underworld. He has watched humanity for millennia without ever being touched by it.

​

Until Therese.

​

In a moment of reckless courage, she kisses him.

​

It is the first kiss Death has ever known.

​

When Therese awakens in the world of the living, grieving and alone, Than cannot forget her. He makes a forbidden bargain with Hades and takes mortal form to find her.

​

But loving Death comes with a price.

​

To stay together, Therese must avenge her parents' murder and survive a deadly trial orchestrated by the gods themselves. If she fails, she won't just lose Than.

​

She'll lose her life.

​

And this time, Death won't be able to save her.

​

In this epic reimagining of Greek mythology, love defies fate, gods wage war, and even Death can fall.
