Eugene's kidnapper was born in ancient Macedon. With his help, she plans to die in his backyard... unless her past catches up with them first.


Nineteen-year-old Eugene sustains himself on routine and anxiety, saving up for college and overmanaging every detail of his predictable life. Things are going smoothly enough--until he's abducted by an immortal woman looking for a way to die. Yanked into Corinna's impossible life, he is warned of two things. First, there are those on her heels who will do anything to stop her from meeting her end, and second, unless Eugene helps her find a way to die, he won't live to see his next birthday.



As a noose long-since tied tightens around both of their necks, his only hope of returning to a normal life rests on being pulled into a world where covert dealings and museum heists are the least of his worries. But how can he help kill someone he's rapidly growing to care for? And if he doesn't, can they prevent the ultimate cost?



The Wrath and The Dawn meets Looking for Alaska in this YA fantasy tale spanning from ancient Persia to modern-day Texas, between finding a life worth living and dying for those you love.
