On the night of her engagement, forty-year-old chief auditor Mara Voss sees her fiancé Julian Cross die seven different deaths.A falling bell. Drowning. Fire. A silver blade. Burial. A noose. And the seventh death ends with Mara herself driving a knife into his heart. She cancels the wedding to save him—only to discover that every time she prevents one of Julian’s deaths, the world erases another piece of her life. Her job disappears. Her home is taken. Her bank accounts vanish. Even her own mother forgets her face. Behind it all is Mara’s brother Silas, who has weaponized the marriage registry Mara once helped design, turning a system meant to give trapped partners a way out into a machine for erasing people. To survive all seven deaths, Mara and Julian must expose the truth without letting love become another form of ownership.Because saving Julian may cost Mara everything. Her name. Her future. Her existence.And before they can marry, they must learn how to choose each other freely.
