Death Answers to Me

Nina Bale, an immortal who holds power over life and death, has lived countless years in silence.

A year ago, the Ford family patriarch severed a vital geomantic vein, cursing his descendants with misfortune and decline.

In desperation, he begged Nina for help, offering his own life in exchange for her protection—though only for one year.

Since then, Nina has lived under the Ford roof, shielding them from disaster, yet enduring their coldness, suspicion, and disdain.

Now that the year has ended, the family, ungrateful and weary of her presence, prepares to cast her out.

But just as they do, fate intervenes—the Cork family, one of the most powerful clans, arrives in panic.

Their patriarch lies at death's door, and none of the doctors or healers can save him.

In their desperation, they kneel before Nina.For the first time, the world begins to see who she truly is.
