The ancient legends say the goddess of Fate, daughter of Old Trickster, was born without a heart in her hollow breast-and never has it seemed more true. Reaper Team 3 has been shattered and reforged, sent far beyond the front lines and into the remote hinterlands in search of their lost comrades and a meaning behind the strange works of the hobgoblin empire. Meanwhile, intrigue unfolds in the capital city of Camshire, where powerful figures battle with words and knives over the destiny of the Reaper program and the geopolitical landscape as a whole. Familiar faces return changed and new ones emerge to be tested as the future of the Nation and humanity itself swing in the scales.

The Watchers (Dealers Book 3)
In The Dealers (Book 1), Lena thought she understood the rules. Magic had limits. Every deal had a cost. And the mysterious Dealers - immortals bound by ancient pacts - kept the fragile balance between power and chaos. But everything changed when she met Azrael. The Dealer who never lost control. The one who shouldn't have cared - but did. Their connection was impossible, dangerous, and undeniable. And when the world demanded his sacrifice, Azrael gave everything to save it. Now, months later, the balance he died to protect is unraveling. Without Azrael's immortal essence anchoring the network, the Dealers' magic is breaking apart - contracts fail, power corrupts, and ancient debts begin to rewrite themselves. What once kept the world in order now threatens to tear it apart. Lena refuses to let his death be the end. Haunted by guilt and the echo of what they shared, she begins to uncover whispers of the impossible - that Azrael still lives, stripped of his immortality and hunted by the very forces he once commanded. To Lena, it's a chance at redemption - to save the man who saved her, and maybe the world along with him. To Noah, her oldest ally and fiercest skeptic, it's a threat - a walking weapon who could destroy what little stability they've managed to rebuild. As power fractures and loyalties splinter, finding Azrael becomes more than a mission. It becomes a test of faith, love, and survival - and a question that could rewrite the laws of their world: Can the world survive without its eternal anchor... or will saving him be the very thing that ends it?
No Power, No Chains
In a world where power defines worth, Shallot Black was born with nothing. No gift. No glory. Just a name and a legacy that wanted him erased. Cast out by the Black family and forgotten by a system that worships strength, Shallot disappeared. But he didn't die. He trained. He planned. And in the silence between wars and headlines, a new name began to surface. Reaper. He doesn't wear a cape. He doesn't need a spotlight. But when the world's foundations start to crack when hero agencies fall, and power becomes panic all eyes turn to the one man they couldn't control. Shallot isn't here to save the system. He's here to dismantle it. Because the powerless were never weak. And the Reaper never asks permission to cut the chain. Please let me know if there is any way I can improve. If you see a mistake, please let me know. 🙂 THANKS FOR 1K READS!!!!!!

Death's Duty
(18+) *Complete/Unedited* ---- "You are death." I heard the grin in his tone. "Death's duty is to take care of the already departed. Newly deceased, and previously deceased alike." ***** Morrigan Wraith lives a double life; one not many would think to question. While on the outside she looks like a normal human detective, underneath all of that lies a grim reaper. Reapers were created at the beginning of time, formed to be unemotional and detached as a soul's transport to either Heaven or Hell. But Morrigan is unlike the rest. She was created with a defective heart - one that felt emotion, and one that got her into more trouble than she ever imagined. (18+ for language, violence, and sexual situations)Complete
