Description
In a world where the Flat Earth’s vast, half-mythic powers can brush against ordinary lives, a small circle of people finds themselves drawn into the orbit of Uhlume—Mr. Death himself. When Uhlume offers a bargain that seems to promise escape from mortality, it quickly curdles into a sentence: one thousand years in his kingdom, where time becomes both punishment and temptation. As the secret to immortality passes into human hands, dark magic and escalating wickedness threaten to unmake the fragile boundaries between love, sanity, and survival. With Tanith Lee’s signature lyrical intensity and unsettling imagination, this tale blends mythic fantasy and psychological dread into a haunting meditation on what we truly bargain away when we try to outlive death.
