  Death becomes mortal for a day.

Publisher’s description

She is Dream's elder sister, the one who will end the Endless, the one who closes up the Universe when Destiny reads the last word on the last page of his book. She is Death, and she's heading to New York--not as the all-powerful Endless, but as a mortal for a day!
