Could you think of death as a person? With a family? Inspired by Markus Zusak's Book Thief comes a story about his daughter. She is just like any other human being; before she knew who or what her father was, she lived a normal life, with friends and a school and a normal fiteen-year-old's social life. The face her friends saw was carefree and friendly, if not a little fierce; but at home she was a completely different person. When her mother died suddenly, her father came home and handed her something that she had only ever seen in books: death's Scythe. And from then on her life changes. She can never go back to being who she was ever again.
A world of blackness. That was all that awaited the young baby girl, born to a family that so much was expected of. They expected her to be perfect, and yet she was so imperfect. She walked alone for so many years, until one day. When suddenly, right before her, she could see. See the earth, the trees, everything. But now, another fate rests on her shoulders. Does she dare take it on? For her people? Her country? Care to find out?
There are three boys fighting over Katie's heart in the most literal and confusing fashion. Katie is the heir to the throne to a country in a mirror, the country of a bad-luck mirror that's shed more blood than the most vicious predators of the people in Katie's world. There is a rumor in the country, a legend that says whoever eats the heart of the heir of Riptak at any time gains eternal life and youth and a power that surpasses anything imagined or not. Two boys with big ambitions hear of this and use their own powers to capture Katie and her heart, while a third seeks not to kill her, but to befriend her and lure out her heart on its own. Katie's journal, which she has named 'The End', is the only thing she can trust in this bloodthirsty country of the mirror. She has one hope to escape this nightmare: The Heart Tree. To any that finds the Tree and offers something of equal value to the wish, the Tree would grant your wish, as long as the price is paid. But the Tree has a nasty reputation for making the wish for the worse in the end, like the stories of the monkey's paw. To Katie, though, anything is better than the lies, betrayals and blood of her life right now. She records everything that's happened, for, as the heir of Riptak, there is nothing she can forget.
