Dead Border: The Courier and the Stolen Heart

On Whitebone Road, even the dead obey delivery rules—until a dead queen hands Kai Aster a box that should not be beating.Kai is a Black-Bell Courier, one of the few who can cross the border-road where ghosts wait for the things the living could not let go. His job is simple: carry the parcel, obey the rules, and never open the box.But this parcel is addressed to Linea Caldia, the first princess of Lunas.Inside is her stolen heart.Still alive.Before dawn, the princess is scheduled to die. Now Kai has only hours to carry a royal heart through a capital drowning in bells, lies, and fear. Every gate is watched. Every name can be forged. Every order from the palace may be a death sentence. And the hunters closing in on him know exactly what he carries.The dead remember debts. The living erase names. And somewhere beneath the kingdom's polished throne, a secret is still beating.Dark fantasy, royal intrigue, undead roads, cursed names, and gothic mystery collide in this fast-paced fantasy adventure about a courier with a cracked bell, a princess without a heart, and one forbidden delivery that could break the rules of death itself.If Kai delivers the heart, he may uncover the truth the kingdom buried.If he fails, the princess dies—and Whitebone Road may claim far more than one stolen heart.
