The balance of life and death must be kept at all costs.
Having been a reaper as long as

Kain had been living an ordinary

world upside down. He is thrust into a world of hunters and reapers.
The keepers of life and death have been feuding for centuries over a
reason no one can even remember.
With Kain having been marked for
reaping, and Nivian being hunted, they forge a friendship and
together must find the truth in order to keep balance in check. Wrong
choices could destroy everything. As they journey they discover
hidden histories, powers, and lies and truths that have been spun
since the beginning of time. The consequence of failure,
unimaginable.
Excerpt:
Jumping
over the edge of the bridge, Nivian landed with a soft tap on the
surface of the water. She reached down, pulled the soul of the driver
up by the collar of his shirt, and stood him up next to her on top of
the water. She took the driver’s hand, palm up, in hers and waved
her other hand over his. Pinching the air, she pulled, lifting up and
exposing his life thread, his wide eyes were hypnotized by the
glowing string of light. Grabbing the scythe strapped to her back she
swung. With a slow, deliberate movement Nivian sliced the human’s
life thread. The light formed a ball and hovered as she pulled out a
small pocket watch. The life energy floated down to the watch and
sunk into it, disappearing. With a snap, she closed the watch and
returned it to her pocket.
“You
really shouldn’t drink and drive; you could have seriously hurt
someone,” she said, giving him an apathetic look.
He
gaped at her, mouth opening and closing like a fish.
“Yes,
you really are dead,” she confirmed as she turned away.
“Are
you … the devil?” he finally managed to sputter.
“No,
of course not. I am just the natural order of things,” she said,
looking over her shoulder at him “Wait here. Your spirit counselor
will be here soon to guide you to your afterlife. I have other jobs
tonight.” She turned, walking away as she pulled her hood back up
over her head and vanished.
