Death catches the scent of rot in a Birmingham hospital: someone is binding the newly dead to their bodies-and it isn't her.

At the same time, fourteen-year-old Daisy starts drawing lost souls like a lighthouse, and Tobias Staghorn-lecturer, reluctant prophet, the man Music once chose-opens his door to the impossible: Music has a body again, and love is suddenly crowded. Across a snow-slick winter turning to tense spring in the Midlands and London, A&E doctor Stuart Murray returns just as impossible patients stop dying on schedule; Death stalks the wards with a scythe she'd rather not use; and the rules show their edges: Death, Music, and Time are embodied and limited. To free the jammed passage between life and afterlife, Death needs answers; Tobias wants a department built and a love he won't ruin; Stuart wants to save bodies without losing himself; Daisy just wants the noise to stop. Second in this cycle but reads cleanly as a stand-alone. Boundaries: multiple on-page intimate scenes (including kink with explicit consent), medical trauma detail, grief and harassment, one attempted sexual assault referenced on-page, and frequent strong language.
