"move over love, death is in town"

From times of old to modern day, tales of death in orgasm, of a passion that defies the logic of the mind, have been told. Shakespeare told of "Petite Morts", of the "little death". There have been stories artfully woven featuring vampires and other undead creatures. The topics of death and lust have crossed paths many times.

Mari Byrne brings to life a quick tale from Ellora's Cave, the story of Death and his soulmate.

Lucas knew Tawny was the one from the first moment. When he took her grandmother from her pain, he knew he had to one day find a way to be with Tawny. The Ascendant dictated that if she could accept him for what he is, then they would be given a true chance at life and love. Lucas would gain another chance at mortality and shed his role as death.

Tawny felt him when he took her grandmother, she could almost see him. Years later, she knew him at a glance, just as she knew he had come for her. At first she attempted to escape her fate, but when he found her, she accepted with her head what he heart already knew. She belonged to him. Even if he meant to assist her into the hereafter, she ached to feel his arms around her, to look into his eyes as he joined his body to hers.

DEATH REBORN is a passionate and loving tale of a second chance at life and love. Mari Byrne weaves a beautiful story, as poetic at times as Shakespeare himself, while still as hot as the loyal readers of Ellora's Cave demand.

Rated NC-17 by Ellora's Cave.
