Yes, heroes can die. And will. There are no "Gods" in this game. No matter how powerful, your hero can die. I still play multiplayer on occasion and have level 20 or so heroes get taken down. You can however, pay to have those heroes brought back to life.
Some tips. Ranged characters are supremely powerful. Ranged characters with poisoned weapons are even better. Wizards, backed by a well stocked library, and a few towers, are insanely powerful. However, all it takes is a pea shooter to get them killed. Build several marketplaces. Cash makes your world go around. Tax collectors can use guardhouses to deposit taxes. Build guardhouses!! If your tax collector dies with 3 or 4 thousand gold, there goes your upgrades. Keep a warriors guild right next to your castle. And summon them as needed. There is nothing like a few dozen dragons firebombing your castle to reduce it to cinders in seconds. Or, um, a rock golem invasion or two. Anyhow, always keep your castle well defended, or else. Have fun.
And beware of the Black Spectres. **Shudders**

All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
