For thousands of years, Death walked behind the dark veil of the living, waiting to ferry the
dead. That is, until the day that Death took a life for pleasure rather
than duty. On that day, the first Reaper fell to Earth. Now, Reapers
live among us, craving the taste of death, forcing them to kill to
satisfy their immortal hunger.
Giles Reid fell more than 300
years ago starving for the taste of death, only to find himself drowning in a sea of the living and blinded by a hunger that forces him to kill. In the centuries since his fall he has tried to be more human,
desperate to live a life that makes up for what he is and the wrong he
has done. Driven by his guilt over killing, he has chosen to feed only
on evil; humans that have never been a threat to him but who are always a danger to others. That is, until the day he tries to feed on a human as strong, fast and cunning as himself; a human who, it turns out, has
been hunting him. Now he is being pursued by the very evil he has fed on for centuries, embroiled in a deadly cat-and-mouse game, where friends
and other Reapers connected to him are simply pawns on a chessboard
waiting to be sacrificed. Giles is left with a choice, save the life of
the women he loves, the daughter of his mentor, or betray her for his
own survival.
To save the woman he loves, Giles will have to be the monster he is.
