Why these tropes fit
When Death—one of four apocalyptic riders tasked with destroying humanity—kills everyone in Lazarus Gaumond's town, she alone survives thanks to an extraordinary gift: she cannot be killed by any force, not even Death himself. Lazarus confronts the ancient horseman as he continues his killing spree, and an unsettling desire grows between them despite the bad blood. When she crosses paths with the other three horsemen—Pestilence, War, and Famine—an unthinkable deal is struck: seduce Death to save the world. Though she cannot stay away from his dark embrace, Lazarus is the only one who can stop Death from fulfilling his final task of human annihilation.
