New Release
Tempting Death
(October 6, 2026)
When the reaper finds himself drawn to a mortal woman who dies in a freak accident every time she sees him, his life of seclusion gets turned upside down. You see, in this world, deaths are predetermined, so he must return her soul to her body each time. It’s a complication that soon turns the attention of the other gods his way.
As his curiosity about her grows, he experiences emotions that have eluded him throughout his endless life. Emotions he must reconcile with the cold, unattachment he maintains as the reaper of souls. All while keeping his forbidden relationship from the eyes of other nosy gods.
