Plot: Heroine has ability to kill with her touch. Village elders calls in a death broker type of guy - who usually comes at the request of an individual to end their life, after being accused of using her power to kill her family (maybe aunt and uncle?). I believe he has uses a magic sword to sever the persons soul to help them move on to the next world
She is locked in basement of elders home waiting for him to arrive in village. He tries to follow normal protocol, which is to get to know the individual to council them before he kills them, but heroine wants no part of him, and has no intention to be killed. She has been set up by the village, and I THINK that they discover that her touch can also bring life. They end up falling in love, and there is a happily ever after, I believe that they discover she is innocent and didn't actually kill her family, but I'm not sure about that part.
