Generations ago, a man made a deal with a Grim Reaper, hoping to gain eternal life. In the process, he had promised to give that Reaper a mass murder, a gift of many souls to shepherd to the other side. Abigail's ancestor escaped, and Reapers have followed her whole family ever since. The deal remains unfinished so long as she and her family walk the earth.
In an attempt to cope with an emissary of Death following her around all the time, Abigail has taken to talking to her otherworldly shadow. In all her years, not one Reaper has ever talked back to her.
Until one day, a young Reaper lowers his hood.
Now, Abigail struggles to find the balance between keeping herself safe from her family curse and getting closer to this Reaper. He's curious, cute, and interested in ending the curse so he can get back to his normal job. But when a single mistake could be fatal for Abigail, how can she trust him?
