Danger, heartache, grit, tension, brotherhood, trauma, betrayal, sacrifice, fear. Death square in the face. All in a day's work for the REAPERS, an elite black-ops team deployed to remote, untamed conflict zones. Their mission: to assassinate covert targets, conduct rescue operations and gather intelligence. We follow this tight band as its members evolve; some will die and be replaced by new faces, some will defect, be injured or retire, and others will change in unimaginable ways. All will be tested to their limits.
REAPERS is an epic set in a sprawling dark fantasy universe of tragic characters, complex villains, and shocking story turns. It explores contemporary and timeless issues about the human condition set against an otherworldly backdrop; a study of the horrors of war and xenophobia through a fantastical yet gritty lens.
Written by Them Thorntons.

Bloodied Feather
Bloodied Feather Book I of the Rusted Valor Trilogy In a brutal world controlled by gold and paid for in blood, survival is no victory... only an unpaid sacrifice. This is a story of grit, forged bonds, and fragile hope. For readers who love the deeply, human character ties in 'The Last of Us' and the medieval worldbuilding of 'A Song of Ice and Fire.' Gray, he should be dead, wants to be, yet he carries on, each breath his punishment. He has nothing to live for... until he finds something worth dying for. This new purpose forces him to confront his buried past in search of safety. Lyra and Ravina, survived of cruel turns, end up beneath Gray's reluctant wing. It isn't wanted, nor a bond that was wished for. It was a bond forged in iron, rusted by blood, yet born through resilient honour. Read the rest here: https://books2read.com/bloodied-featherComplete
Black Star Wane
This story is fully completed offline. Updates on Wattpad will be every Monday and Friday. *** In the fractured margins of a dying galaxy, mercenary captain Riven Korda leads the crew of the Ragged Vow through the lawless void. Haunted by a vanished sister and a memory-eating past, Riven takes contracts no one else dares-wreck dives, recursion retrievals, and corpse-code bounties. When a dying archivist implants her with a fragment of forbidden code, Riven becomes the target of recursion cults, rogue AIs, and a Union conspiracy older than the black signal itself. As her mind begins to fracture, and reality twists beneath her feet, Riven must follow the signal trail toward the mythical Abysmal Spire-a place where the past isn't dead, only weaponized. ***** Copyright 2025.Complete
Too Dark for you to Love
In the gloomy town of Deathmoure, located amidst misty landscapes, people possessed an unusual trait - they couldn't inflict death on anyone, including themselves. It was a pacifist's dark utopia but for my grieving heart of a white widow, it was a prison - a sanctuary of despair. Needing a path out of this grief-stricken existence, I began my search for a reaper who could aid in my departure. With the newly arrived reaper, broad-shouldered with a charismatic, sly charm that was hard to withstand, I found myself engulfed in a bizarre investigation. Mysterious events began occurring within our rainy town, pointing indirectly toward my mysterious reaper. Amidst this chaos, an unlikely sentiment blossomed within me - love. As the investigation deepened, so did the connection between me and my reaper. It was an unexpected twist, a cosmic joke. I was no longer an icy fortress but a hopeful woman, falling in love with the man who was uncovering the darkest secrets of the people around me. The fighting spirit dormant for so many years in me, now roared to life. August 2023 #1 in dieforyouComplete
