Reaper’s Assassin
“Little assassin, you’ve broken all my rules…“
A decade ago, Seska Ventris made a desperate deal: become the Reaper’s Assassin or forfeit her own life. But when the Reaper demands the death of Finnian Kavati, a spirit wolf shifter from her home village in the Appalachian mountains, doubt begins to creep in. With her hands stained by years of blood, Seska faces a haunting choice: obey the Reaper, or risk becoming the next name on his list.
