The city of Aravell is in peril, plagued by a deadly blackmist that kills all it touches, and reapers who roam the streets, stealing the magic of innocent children in their thirst for power. Seventeen-year-old Viridia Solace has trained for years to hunt and kill these monsters, but their ranks keep growing, led by the man who murdered her parents: the Reaper Priest. Then Viri meets Reeve Ashton, the Priest's most loyal follower, and he offers a chance to avenge her parents . . . for a price. She knows better than to bargain with a reaper, let alone this reaper, but his offer is too good to resist. Soon she's breaking him out of prison, colluding with his crew of magic thieves, and following him to the deepest, darkest edge of the Blackmist wood in search of an ancient legend, all so they can stop the Reaper Priest from carrying out a plan to doom the whole island. Viri is staking her life on Reeve's plan, but how can she trust a silver-tongued criminal to keep his word? And how can she trust her own heart when a buried secret could shatter everything? Full of relentless twists, enemies-to-lovers romance, found family, and high stakes action, Shadow Reaper is the start of a breathtaking new duology from international bestselling author Lynette Noni.
