Born to the Blood

Scythebearer Series Vol. 1

By Ariel F. Williams

*For Contemporary Romantasy, Paranormal, and Fantasy readers*

In the debut novel by Ariel F. Williams...

Nixie has spent the better half of her 27 years stumbling between extremely vivid nightmares, ominously accurate coincidences, and more than a few oddly unsettling forebodings. But when one of her darker dreams ends up coming to life before her eyes, Nixie's entire reality alters completely – and she's not sure if it's for the better.

Suddenly, Nixie is expected to follow in her mother's footsteps to become something she didn't even know existed a week ago - an Original Blood Reaper. The thing is, her mother has been missing for almost 10 years, gone without a trace. This means she has no guidance, no training, and no idea what the job even consists of. The universe has left her completely hanging. 

So who will train her? Who will teach the young, inexperienced Reaper? 

Enter the supernatural professionals of warfare. Who better to help than a few brooding demons and egregoreous Mystical beings? (Connor would also like to include the words 'muscular' and 'handsome' in that previous description as well *eye roll*)

Too bad Nixie's better at drinking martinis, than fighting the evil that threatens every realm... Or is she?
