Publisher Description
A young reaper hunter must conspire with her enemy to uproot the ancient evil that threatens her world in this heart-pounding romantic fantasy from the bestselling author of The Prison Healer.
"This year's must read YA fantasy." —Rebecca Yarros, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Fourth Wing
The city of Aravell is in peril, plagued by a deadly blackmist and reapers who roam the streets, stealing magic from innocent children in their thirst for power. Seventeen-year-old Viridia Solace has trained for years to hunt these reapers, but their ranks keep growing, led by the man who murdered her parents: the Reaper Priest.
When the Priest’s most loyal follower, Reeve Ashton, is captured, he offers Viri a chance to avenge her parents . . . for a price. She knows better than to bargain with a reaper, let alone this reaper, but his offer is too good to resist.
Soon she’s breaking him out of prison, colluding with his crew of magic thieves, and following him deep into the blackmist forest in search of an ancient legend, all so they can stop the Reaper Priest’s plot to doom the city. Viri is staking her life on Reeve’s plan, but how can she trust a silver-tongued criminal to keep his word? And how can she trust her own heart when a buried secret could shatter everything?
Full of relentless twists, enemies-to-lovers romance, found family, and high-stakes action, Shadow Reaper is the start of a breathtaking new duology from international bestselling author Lynette Noni.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
If there’s a magical spell for “all killer, no filler,” Lynette Noni conjures it for this full-throttle romantasy adventure. As a hunter of reapers—addicts who steal the magic of others—17-year-old Viri has no peer. When evidence emerges that the leader of those lost souls, the Reaper Priest, is planning something nefarious, she’s on the front lines to head it off. Unfortunately, the key to her neutralizing the threat is the darkly dashing Reeve, her former childhood friend turned reaper. From the beginning, Noni had us immersed in Viri’s world, where children are in continuous danger because of their “pure” magic. She keeps the action speeding along, layering in the rules of her fantasy realm and the tension between Viri and Reeve. Shadow Reaper finds its groove immediately and stays in it until the end. And when that final twist comes, it lands with knee-buckling force.
