And So The Breaking Begins: Mindbreaker Duet, Book 1 (An Age of War and Prophecy 3)
Lacey Lehotzky
by Joe Esposito
Ruth Weber has accepted that her time is up, but Death has other plans. When Mortimer Nach, a mysterious figure who serves as the reaper of souls, arrives at her hospice bedside, he offers an impossible bargain: a second chance at the life she always dreamed of living. This is not a simple resurrection, but a high-stakes gamble that forces Ruth to confront the agonizing details of her past and the heavy price of rewriting her destiny.
Blending the ethereal nature of angel fiction with the emotional weight of a haunting paranormal romance, this award-winning tale transcends the typical guardian-angel trope. As Ruth and Mortimer navigate a fractured reality, their connection deepens, revealing that even a being tasked with ending lives can find wonder in the fragility of the human experience. They are two lost souls tethered by a painting that holds the keys to their salvation and their undoing.
As the forces of Heaven and Hell converge to punish their defiance, Ruth and Mortimer must decide what is worth sacrificing for love. This is a visceral, cinematic journey into the shadows of existence, perfect for readers who crave a story that explores the profound, terrifying beauty of what it truly means to be alive.
