Amongst them is the cruel and beautiful Death God, who has never failed to collect a soul on time. Until now. For when he seeks out Rujia, the noble god of healing--and the only god he is fated to kill with his own hands--she makes him an offer he can't refuse: she will help lift the excruciating, century-old curse placed upon him if he gives her a one-month reprieve. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRujia knows she isn't as noble as everyone believes.
