The Reaper

A Lady of Darkness Novella

By: Melissa K. Roehrich Melissa K. Roehrich

Narrated by: Gregory Salinas

Before he was the Fire Court Third, he was the Reaper.

And before he was the Reaper, he was her Ash Rider.

Moranna. The Baroness of a colony hidden away on the Southern Islands. She works tirelessly to keep some of the most powerful Fae of the realm safe from those who seek to use them for their gifts.

Or that's what Rayner has always believed.

When he learns the Baroness's darkest secrets, he finds nothing is as it seems, and he realizes he has more to fight for than he ever thought. Vowing to put an end to her and everything she has created on the islands, he finds himself the center of a curse as punishment for his rebellion.

The path back to vengeance is wrought with violence, grief, and unexpected allies, and Rayner knows better than anyone: Some nightmares never end.

Oh my heart!

Beautifully written and so thankful for this book! This story was so needed, thank you!

much needed story

I needed this story of Raynera past. He's so much more complex than he was able to be shown in the series. He is one of my favorite characters and I'm glad I got to read the full back story and how he found his fire court family.

Love the story

Love this story, I want to think that one part of the story was not consistent. I thought he was part of the court before sorin was born. This story states other wise. Unless I’m wrong.
