My name is Joan Churchill, and I'm a Reaper: the finest swordswoman around and a professional monster slayer.
My name Is Ethan Vernon, and I'm a Reaper: mage and specialist of all things arcane, occultic and ghostly.
The supernatural is more natural than many people are comfortable to imagine. Uncountable numbers and varieties of spirits, shifters, monsters, mages and ghosts inhabit the cities alongside humans, most completely unaware. In some places though, the supernatural is as common as the natural, where shifters can be found working retail jobs, and mages ply their trades from their apartments or personal offices.
When the supernatural community starts causing trouble, Reapers are brought in to deal with the feral monsters, rogue mages and spirits who are at the centres of the problems. Ethan and Joan are two of less than a dozen professional Reapers residing permanently in the Haven Lake region, a city with an above average concentration of supernaturals in and around it. Hardly a week goes by without a run in of some kind with a supernatural, and every job is a test of their skills, training, knowledge and magic.
In a world where humans and shifters coexist, a coming-of-age story unfolds with Ashlynn at its center. Turning 18 in three days, Ashlynn eagerly anticipates the evaluation that will determine her classification among the two main categories: Dominant or Submissive. With intricate sub-classifications like sub, slave, pet, or little for humans, and Dom, Master/Mistress, or Daddy/Mommy for shifters, the stakes are high. As Ashlynn navigates her tumultuous environment, haunted by her mother's unchecked wrath and her own fragile existence, she teeters on the edge of a society where abuse is unforgivable and justice is swift. As her mother's actions lead to a devastating reckoning, Ashlynn's story unfolds.
