The Survivor Wants to Die at the End (They Both Die at the End, Bk. 3)

2025 Goodreads Choice Award Finalist for Best Young Adult Fiction

In a world where death-prediction is a business, two boys whose lives are haunted by fate are forced to live.

Paz Dario spends every sleepless night waiting for the call from the agency known as Death-Cast. The call would finally give him relief. When the call doesn’t come, he decides he’ll make his own way out. But in that moment of despair a boy saves his life.

Alano Rosa is heir to the very empire that predicts death. His life is scripted, his future determined. Threatened by a radical organization opposed to Death-Cast, his End Day may be closer than he thinks. Fate brings Paz and Alano together — two lives at opposite ends of the same system — and it’s up to them to make a choice: survive together, before it’s too late.

Raw, delicate, and deeply caring, this installment in the series explores mental illness, identity, trauma, survival — what it means not just to die, but to live.
