The Reaper's Curse has come, the gods have foreseen death and people are helpless to fight it. Those infected lose their minds, feasting on souls and flesh. Surviving the Reaper's Curse means being forced from Muovea's capital and into exile, abandoned and forgotten.

Alicia Zalana had her entire life before her, destined for greatness amongst the opulent palace of the capital. But when the queen is murdered and Alicia is the only one who knows who did it, she's compelled to play her hand and risk exile. Or much, much more.

As long-forgotten legends begin to stir beneath the ancient stone of Muovea, Alicia will discover just how much she's willing to sacrifice, and just how much she cares for the captain who saved her life.
