How to Kill a Reaper

Ash was not supposed to die. The dead girl on the ground, ripped into by monstrous teeth, probably wasn't either, but he can't remember her. Or what happened to him. Or even his own name.

He can't remember anything.

All he has left to trust is Ravi, the Reaper who brought him back from the brink of death after a pack of Bleeders got to him like the dead girl. The artful scars left behind on Ash's body are all that remain, as well as a permanent psychic link to his savior, which helps Ravi cope with the imbalances that come with being a Reaper. Now, when Ravi hungers, so does Ash.

Ravi's only occupation is to travel along the parched coast of the dry lands, and, with nowhere else to go, Ash follows. What Ash doesn't expect is Ravi gathering the leaves and twigs to help make his bed at the end of the day, or fetching game to supplant his otherwise scant diet, or - worst of all - to sing for him at night when he's haunted by the ghosts of memories from his life before.

As they continue together down their path with unexpected stops along the way, they come across a town burning and others on the brink of death. With no choice but to stop, time catches up to them - as well as the shadows of Ash's past. He finds that he can pursue, lure, and fight the way only a special class of hunters can.

And if that's true, then he and that special class of hunters would share something else in common: enemies.
