A witch should know better than to make a deal with Death. Yet at the end of her grandfather’s life, Gemma does just that and finds herself newly employed as a Reaper, collecting the souls of the deceased.

On the surface, the job seems simple. Like any workplace, though, the real complications are in the politics. Witches are a rare asset, and multiple factions see her as their chance to shift the balance of power in their favor.

As she fights to find her place in this new world, Gemma slowly uncovers a pattern of deceit and dark magic that leaves her wondering: where does the line between good and evil lie, and what happens if you step over it?
