The second book and prequel in the No. 1 global bestselling They Both Die at the End series. What if you could find out your death date from a single phone call? Death-Cast is calling . . . will you answer? 'If They Both Die at the End broke your heart and put it back together again, be prepared for this novel to do the same. A tender, sad, hopeful and youthful story that deserves as much love as its predecessor.' Culturefly '[A] heart-pounding story [full] of emotion and suspense.' Kirkus 'An extraordinary book with a riveting plot.' Booklist Two new strangers spend a life-changing day together after Death-Cast make their first 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 death, or is it an elaborate hoax? Orion Pagan has waited years for someone to tell him that he's going to die, given his serious heart condition. Valentino Prince has a long and promising future ahead of him and only registered for Death-Cast after his twin sister nearly died in a car accident. Orion and Valentino cross paths in Times Square and immediately feel a deep connection. But when the first End Day calls go out, their lives are changed for ever - one of them receives a call . . . the other doesn't. Told with acclaimed author Adam Silvera's signature bittersweet touch, this story celebrates the lasting impact that people have on each other and proves that life is always worth living to the fullest.

Sammendrag: Romanen udspiller sig over en enkelt skelsættende nat i New York, hvor Death‑Cast for første gang begynder at ringe ud og forudsige menneskers sidste dag. Orion Pagan, der lever med en livstruende hjertesygdom, melder sig begejstret til systemet i håb om klarhed om sin dødsdato. Valentino Prince, en håbefuld model med drømme om fremtiden, er nyankommet til byen og deltager i Death‑Cast’s launch party. Da Orion og Valentino mødes, opstår en intens forbindelse mellem dem. Men da de første Death‑Cast-opkald kommer, viser det sig, at kun én af drengene får beskeden om, at dette er hans sidste dag. Sammen må de beslutte, hvordan de vil bruge den tid, de har fået – med kærlighed, venskab, oplevelser og svære valg – vel vidende at døden kan indhente dem når som helst. Bogen tematiserer dødelighed, skæbne, queer kærlighed og værdien af at gribe øjeblikket.
