As a Princess of the Death realm, Willow Ember is the heiress to her father's throne in the underworld kingdom of Grim. Someday it will be her turn to wear the crown and become the Grand Reaper, commanding an army of Reaper knights across the five realms. Willow is not sure she will be ready for this great responsibility, but she has to try.... for without Reapers to reap souls of the dead, the world would be overrun with nightmarish demon beasts formed when a deceased soul has been left to rot inside its corpse.
Willow's betrothed, an apprentice Reaper named Xavier, trained hard to become a full Knight of Death. As a necromancer, his innate magic Hallows to control souls allowed him to physically touch the NecroSeam, a ghostly thread that ties a person's soul to his body. But Xavier's training was cut short when a powerful sorcerer with extinct poison magic threw him off a cliff into the ocean and left him to die. His body was never found and all assumed him dead. Yet even Willow did not suspect the truth.
That Xavier's soul was somehow ripped from his body... and attached to his twin brother, NecroSeam fully intact.
With his body lost, his memories gone, and his only connection to the living through his brother, all that's left of Xavier is his soul. But at least living half a life is better than being fully dead, even if he has to keep his condition a secret from the rest of the world.
Now, the coexisting brothers embark on a journey up to the surface in search of Xavier's missing body, joined by a lady Reaper with fire magic Hallows who uses her unmatched skills with the scythe to help the twins fight off hordes of soul-eating, undead beasts that plague this realm. What started as an exciting adventure of hope turns into a frightening nightmare. For an ancient, sorceress queen has amassed an army, preparing to wage a demon war.
And it's up to these apprentice Reapers, one without a body, to stop her.
Willow of Ashes is the first book of the NecroSeam Chronicles, an epic fantasy series that takes the classic lore of the Grim Reaper and braids into a thrilling adventure full of whimsy, wonder, and just a dash of horror.
