Description
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.
