I found this. I's a question asked during a Q&A with Deborah Harkness last october:

"Fan: I apologize beforehand if you’ve already dealt with this in the previous books. My memory is … But how have you dealt with Diana’s mortality versus immortality?

Deborah: Well, she’s mortal, and a warm-blood, and not going to have an extended life.

And Matthew has an extended life, and I think, again, the sad truth is none of us really live forever, and we all have to make the best of what we get handed. So I think that’s a really normal part of life. One of the things we need to do better maybe in our time is learning to say goodbye, and learning how to live without the kind of regrets where we wake-up and think “Oh my god what did I do the last 20 years of my life?” "

Source.

She's not immortal, so she will age and die eventually. It made me sad reading this. Matthew has had to endure so much misery in his life and now he'll lose his mate too in another 50 years or so .... I really hoped the tenth knot meant she would be able to be immortal or at least to have a longer lifespan than warmbloods.
