The Magnificence of Death by Rhea Rainwater

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue meets A Dowry of Blood in this lyrical, genre-bending gothic fantasy about a girl cursed with immortality—and the deal she strikes with Death himself.
Astoria Tempest has lived countless lives, but none that truly belonged to her. Cursed with immortality and the ability to return the dead, she’s spent over a century fleeing grief, guilt, and the trail of second chances she never had the right to give. But when she bargains her husband’s soul to save their daughter, the scales tip too far and Death comes to collect all she’s stolen.
Except Death isn’t a shadow or a scythe. He’s a man with cold eyes, a sharper tongue, and a ledger of names with hers at the top.
With Death on her heels, Astoria drifts through the years like a ghost, hiding in the cracks of time and nursing the compulsion to save the dying, no matter the cost. But when she intervenes one too many times, her quiet eternity begins to crumble.
Out of options, Astoria strikes a deal: one broken curse in exchange for one soul. Hers.
As they travel the perilous road toward undoing the curse, what began as a reluctant truce warps into something dangerous. Tenderness, understanding, and even love. Caught between a power she never wanted and a reckoning she can’t avoid, Astoria must decide what she’s truly willing to lose… and whether Death might be something more than just the end.
