Sun & Scythe
Sara Raasch returns with the second book in the Heroes and Romance series, where the Reaper’s daughter and a descendant of Ra fall into a sunshine-meets-the-personification-of-death romance.
Ophelia Blanc didn’t mean to turn the love of her life into a superweapon.
As the Reaper’s daughter, she lives by his rule: Death doesn’t interfere with the affairs of gods and mortals. But when a routine Hero Council mission goes haywire, fate changes in an instant and suddenly Hattie, a descendant of Ra, the sunshine and joy that keeps Ophelia’s darkness at bay, lies dead at Ophelia’s feet.
One tug at the afterlife, and Ophelia brings her soulmate back. Oops?
It turns out that resurrecting a descendant of Ra transforms them into the Eye of Ra, an uncontrollable nuclear superweapon linked to a darker threat within the Hero Council. As Hattie’s dangerous new powers ensnare her in a divine war, Ophelia realizes an important distinction in her father’s rule: death doesn’t interfere. Not death can’t. And she’s already broken the rule once.
Death has a heart. Ophelia’s is Hattie. And she’ll shred heaven and hell to save her.

Sara Raasch
Sara Raasch has always been chasing stories. Long before her novels found their way onto New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists, she was a child in Ohio, sketching out picture books on folded paper and selling them alongside lemonade. That early spark never dimmed, it grew into a passion for fantasy that would carry her from her hometown cornfields to bookshelves around the world.
Her breakout moment came with Snow Like Ashes, a sweeping tale of kingdoms divided by magic and loyalty. Published in 2014 after years of persistence and six earlier manuscripts, the book captured readers with its icy landscapes and a heroine who learns that destiny is not a prophecy but a choice. It was quickly embraced by fantasy fans and went on to earn bestseller recognition. Two sequels, Ice Like Fire and Frost Like Night, completed the trilogy, cementing Raasch’s reputation for blending political intrigue with lyrical world-building.
