National Book Award Finalist

A young woman makes a bargain with Death himself -- and only true love can set her free -- in this spellbinding young adult fantasy romance for fans of Robin McKinley.

For most of her sixteen years, beautiful Keturah Reeves has mesmerized the villagers with her gift for storytelling. But when she becomes hopelessly lost in the king's forest, her strength all but diminished, she must spin the most important of tale of life. With her fate hanging in the balance, she charms Death himself -- a handsome, melancholy, and stern lord -- with a story of a love so true that he agrees to give her a one-day reprieve. Now, she must find her true love in the next twenty-four hours, or else all will be lost.

Keturah searches desperately while her village prepares for an unexpected visit from the king. But Lord Death's presence is never far, hovering over all as mysterious happenings start to alarm her friends and neighbors. If she is to save her soul and the souls of the people she adores, Keturah must confront Lord Death one last time...
