Synopsis

From the bestselling author of The Prison Healer trilogy comes a brand-new YA fantasy, perfect for fans of Lauren Roberts and Leigh Bardugo.

‘This year’s must-read YA fantasy’ – Rebecca Yarros, #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Fourth Wing

NEVER BARGAIN WITH A REAPER.

The city of Aravell is in peril, plagued by a deadly blackmist that kills all it touches and reapers who roam the streets, leaving a trail of bodies in their wake.

Seventeen-year-old reaper hunter Viridia Solace has made it her life’s mission to capture their leader—the man who murdered her parents—but the notorious Reaper Priest has eluded the best hunters on Elverdine Isle for years.

Until now.

When the Priest’s right-hand man, Reeve Ashton, is captured, he offers Viri a chance to avenge her parents . . . for a price. She knows better than to bargain with a reaper, especially this one, but his offer is too good to resist.

Only, trusting Reeve comes with a heavy cost, and soon Viri risks losing everything . . . including her heart.
