Prologue
These are the chronicles of the Kingdom of the Red Rose; the tale of how it came to be. However, where most stories begin with life, ours starts with death.
Death is the inevitable result of all life as we know it. But this exodus, whether sudden or expected, is in no way the finale. A lifetime is but one small step in the uncharted trek of the immortal soul, and all steps seem bound towards the same inescapable end. Death has had such an impact on the living, that it has been personified throughout human history in various forms. The Grim Reaper is one of the many names it was given, and it is as close to the truth as anyone has ever come, but it is not accurate at all.
The Grim Reaper does exist, but he, or she, is not one entity. There are five thousand and one Grim Reapers responsible for collecting and escorting souls between the two known realms of existence: life and the afterlife.
Griffin, the newest addition to the Grim Reaper ranks, was asked to take part in an important mission on Earth. A very rare occurrence as far as Griffin knew, where dozens of Grim Reapers and Angels would soon gather at one location in the human world and work together. The instructions he was given were simple; help collect the souls of humans that are about to die before they are stolen and dragged to Hell by Demons.
