Aeternum

"Eternity means nothing to me if it means that I have to carry the guilt of destroying you."

-----------------

Wylie Moore, a Reaper who clings to morality in the absence of life, has made a fatal choice. She's abandoned her oath, and neglected to collect a soul when its fated time came.

When an unlikely ally joins her side-Finn Halstead, her silent sworn rival-a timeline is severed, and a soul spared. But the afterlife isn't what it seems, and their act of generosity is deemed a crime, pitting them against the commanding powers themselves for judgement.

With a guilty verdict on their hands, it is decided that the two of them will be punished in the worst way possible for a Reaper: Resurrection.

Thrust into the rural hometown Wylie grew up in, with her murderer still running free and her memory of her death severed, the two Reapers must navigate a twisting world of lies, ominous shadows with pointed teeth, a forced friendship, and their own growing feelings for one another.

But Wylie's murderer remembers. They want her dead again-for good this time-and will stop at nothing to see it come to fruition, even if it costs the lives of others.

A Reaper's greatest temptation is revenge.
To succumb is to be destroyed.
To Refuse is to suffer.
Wylie will do anything to get back at her killer.
Finn will do anything to atone for past mistakes.
Even if it means destroying what he was sent to protect.
