Excerpt:
"The scroll chose you. For
whatever reason, she's your reap."
"Well, that sucks." Leila chewed her bottom lip. "If I
don't do it?"
Edon hesitated before he said, "Her soul will rot inside
her body. Do you have any idea what that’s like? She'll be a living corpse, a
shell of a person. She won't feel anything including love. We as reapers, the
undead, feel more than she ever will alive."
Leila swallowed the lump in her throat. "How do you know
that?"
"Because I've seen what it does to a person," Edon said.
"That little girl deserves better."
