Description

In this prequel to They Both Die at the End, two strangers spend a life-changing day together after Death-Cast makes its fateful calls. It’s the night before Death-Cast goes live, and there’s one question on everyone's mind: Can Death-Cast actually predict when someone will die, or is it all a hoax? Orion Pagan has waited years to learn that he’s going to die. He has a serious heart condition, and he signed up for Death-Cast to know what’s coming. Valentino Prince is restarting his life in New York. He has a long, promising future and registered for Death-Cast after his twin sister nearly died in a car accident. Orion and Valentino cross paths in Times Square and feel an immediate connection. When the first End Day calls go out, their lives are changed forever—one of them receives a call, the other does not. They decide to spend the day together, even though they know goodbye could be heartbreaking. Told with Adam Silvera’s signature bittersweet touch, this story reminds us that life is worth living to the fullest.
