Keturah follows a legendary hart into the king's forest, where she becomes hopelessly lost. Her strength diminishes until, finally, she realizes that death is near. Little does she know that he is a young, handsome lord, melancholy and stern. Renowned for her storytelling, Keturah is able to charm Lord Death with a story and thereby gain a reprieve -- but only for twenty-four hours. She must find her one true love within that time, or all is lost. Keturah searches desperately while the village prepares for an unexpected visit from the king, and Keturah is thrust into a prominent role as mysterious happenings alarm her friends and neighbors. Lord Death's presence hovers over all until Keturah confronts him one last time in the harrowing climax. 322381 11 2006 Keturah and Lord Death total:1224|5:403|4:467|3:265|2:75|1:14| 1224 4842 1855 368 5 5 false false Thu Mar 06 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 21 20:50:26 -0800 2008 Sat Mar 08 00:07:20 -0800 2008
