When I was little I loved to read the Grimm Brother’s fairy tales - no cutesy Disney bunnies in those stories. This medieval fantasy has a lot of fairy tale qualities to it. Set in medieval times, sixteen year Keturah wanders deep into the woods outside her village. After three days she is hopelessly lost and starving. Death arrives to take her away, but tries to distract him with a love story, but doesn’t tell him the ending. Death makes a deal with her: if she can find her true love in one day, he will let her live. If she can’t then she must marry him. And so begins her quest. If you think a romance novel can’t have Death as a main character, you’ll be surprised.
