Reapers Book Novels & Stories

“That was the system working as designed. A child’s soul touched the threshold and crossed. Death guided her, as he always does when a soul is ready.” Fate studies me. “You are certain?” “I judged it myself,” I answer. “It was passage, not reversal.” He processes this in silence. Then, softer, “Then why did the Reapers lean?” At that, the Weave trembles. Reapers are meant to witness, not influence. They record mortality. They do not shape it. Yet around Nora, they gather. “They lean because she lightens what they watch,” I say. Fate turns sharply. “Explain.”

Outside the room, I could hear Remy crying in her crib, and the hollow, shuffling sounds of Elaine moving like a ghost through the hallways. “Have you heard of the Reaper King?” My blood stilled. Everyone in the smuggling business had heard the name. The man with the title had his hands in everything. Drugs, guns, people— anything that could be bought or sold, the Reaper King had a finger in it. His ruthlessness, the stuff of nightmares. “No one knows who he is.” “But you have him in your house right now.” The words hung in the air like a noose. I turned. Looked through the cracked door of the room where we'd set Decker up. He was laying on the bed, unconscious bandages wrapped around his ch

Jilin lifted her hand from the folder and placed it on top of mine. But I withdrew from her. I pulled away from Reese too, crossed my arms over my chest and stared at this folder. "You're still alive." I felt the old pain that threatened to tear my heart apart. Even today, in my dreams, I kept hearing my parents' screams. I saw how they had torn them, how the blood flowed and how the light of life had disappeared from their eyes. "Yes, and you have to go to Historia." Very slowly I raised my eyes to her face. "What do you expect from me now?"

Running is not an option because it has been tried before and those who ran were always caught and killed. "Mother I am very aware of this. I know that you are all concerned in your way for me and I thank you for that. I will say that I know that there are many possibilities of what could happen to me, but I am tired of worrying over something that I have no control over. I wanted to enjoy the little bit of time that I had left. I have heard from the leaders of the village that this year there is only going to be one hundred males and females for the reaping, and out of that one hundred, only Michael is from this village. That means that most likely I will never be coming back here." I hear

“When you took Stefan from me the pain was unbearable, but I understand it was an accident and even though this is very hard for me to say, I forgive you. And on behalf of my sisters, we all appreciate your help in trying to defeat these things.” Tears welled in her eyes and Harrison stared, his eyes full of wonder. “He forgives you. Don’t you Gabe?” Gabriel rolled his eyes and shook his head. “Nice to see some things don’t change.” “Gabriel, you said you had information for us,” Aurora interrupted, not liking the way Harrison was gazing at her sister. “Please, tell us what you’ve found.” He leaned in and stared at them closely. “In forty-eight hours, the Reapers will rise.”

We had our family now: no magic, no ancestors, no reapers. The End

Karen, once a high and mighty lady, had been reduced to a lowly figure that everyone could bully. Kisa looked at the pictures in the newspaper. The photos were of the miserable looks of the Reyes family and of the crying face of Karen. 'How could it be? Could it be that Anthony did it, that he took revenge for Lea? But the Reyes family is a powerful force in Athadale. Although not as powerful as the Mullen family, it's still well-known. How could Anthony alone destroy the Reyes family in such a short period of time? Could it be that...'

Once Don and Claire know we have not returned, they will get Grandpa for help. I stretched to ease my aching body. I sway my hips and bend my back to give it a crack. Sleeping on banana leaves over sand isn't exceptionally comfortable. I used Rex's arm as a pillow, which probably made him sore. I never knew sleeping on the ground could be this uncomfortable. I think Rex has no issue since he experienced it once. I wonder about the others. Logan, Liam, and Seth share Rex's experience. Effie and Lily, I'm most concerned about this since this is their first time. Terry probably had the experience as well, since she travels a lot, and sleeping on the ground isn't the worst thing she's done.

Reapers are also a class of angels who reap souls and bring them to either heaven or hell. I'm not too fond of the idea of visiting the Reaper's Lair because of its dark façade to other angels, including me. According to the books I had read during my training days as a Keeper and a Herald, Reaper's Lair looks bleak and sad to other angels except to Reapers themselves.

He didn’t say the name with love, that’s for sure. “I am.” Hunter nodded hesitantly. “How is Collin a reaper? What are reapers exactly?” Callie asked. “Reapers are kind of like special agents. Trained to deal with combat and other things. Reapers are normally sent out in groups to bring in the people on the list.” “They abduct people?” Callie’s eyebrow shifted up. “Kind of.” He nodded. “What do they do to the people they capture?” I asked hesitantly. “I don’t know.” Hunter replied, “Reapers are required to work on orders, no questions asked.”
