Synopsis: The balance of life and death must be kept at all
costs.
Having been a reaper as
long as she can remember, Nivian knows that what she does is essential in
maintaining balance. After being assigned to a rushed mark she finds that there
is more to this human than any other she has encountered.
Kain had been living an
ordinary life without a second thought until he meets Nivian who turns his world
upside down. He is thrust into a world of hunters and reapers. The keepers of
life and death have been feuding for centuries over a reason no one can even
remember.
With Kain having been
marked for reaping, and Nivian being hunted, they forge a friendship and
together must find the truth in order to keep balance in check. Wrong choices
could destroy everything. As they journey they discover hidden histories, powers,
and lies and truths that have been spun since the beginning of time. The
consequence of failure, unimaginable.

Excerpt:
Jumping
over the edge of the bridge, Nivian landed with a soft tap on the surface of
the water. She reached down, pulled the soul of the driver up by the collar of
his shirt, and stood him up next to her on top of the water. She took the
driver’s hand, palm up, in hers and waved her other hand over his. Pinching the
air, she pulled, lifting up and exposing his life thread, his wide eyes were
hypnotized by the glowing string of light. Grabbing the scythe strapped to her
back she swung. With a slow, deliberate movement Nivian sliced the human’s life
thread. The light formed a ball and hovered as she pulled out a small pocket
watch. The life energy floated down to the watch and sunk into it,
disappearing. With a snap, she closed the watch and returned it to her
pocket.
“You
really shouldn’t drink and drive; you could have seriously hurt someone,” she
said, giving him an apathetic look.
He
gaped at her, mouth opening and closing like a fish.
“Yes,
you really are dead,” she confirmed as she turned away.
“Are
you … the devil?” he finally managed to sputter.
“No,
of course not. I am just the natural order of things,” she said, looking over
her shoulder at him “Wait here. Your spirit counselor will be here soon to
guide you to your afterlife. I have other jobs tonight.” She turned, walking
away as she pulled her hood back up over her head and vanished.
