About this book
In this third book of the USA Today and #1 New York Times mega-bestselling They Both Die at the End series, two strangers--each with their own complicated relationship to Death-Cast--help each other learn to live.
Paz Dario stays up every night, waiting for the Death-Cast call that would mean he doesn't have to keep faking his way through this lonely life. After a devastating day, Paz decides he's done waiting around for Death-Cast. If they say he's not dying, he'll just have to prove them wrong. But right before Paz can die, a boy saves his life.
Alano Rosa is heir to the Death-Cast empire that encourages everyone to live their best lives, but he doesn't feel in control of his own existence thanks to his father. And with a violent organization called the Death Guard threatening Alano, his End Day might be closer than he thinks. It's time to live.
Fate brings Paz and Alano together, but it's now up to the boys to survive the tragic trials ahead so no one dies at the end.
