Blaykelanth Noxx was destined to become King of the First Kingdom. Instead, his life was cut short by a monstrous betrayal, and he was offered a choice no mortal had ever been given before: Concede to death, or become it. For three thousand years, he has walked the boundary of the Veil, ferrying souls across it, while the world has forgotten his name-and the man he once was. His kingdom is gone. His name has vanished from history. Blayke Noxx no longer exists. Only the Reaper remains... Until Skyeh Solaris challenges him over a soul he has already claimed. For the first time in millennia, the Reaper finds himself drawn toward a mortal who should mean nothing to him-and discovers that even death itself must bow when faced with a powerful adversary. Some legends are remembered. Others are waiting to be awakened. CONTENT WARNING REAPER is a dark fantasy romance intended for mature readers and contains a morally grey male lead, consensual open-door sexual content, death, and themes of betrayal.
