Excerpt
Chapter One
I have known from the day of my seventh birthday that I was in training as the harbinger of death. For you see, my father is the Grim Reaper.
“Cora,” he told me when I was but a child of seven. “One day, you will rule the Underworld. One day, you will replace me.”
I stared up at him, my giant of a father with his broad shoulders, powerful arms, and elegant fingers with their black nails. He wore his long, dark hair tied back from his angular face so that his black, black eyes seemed like hollow things against his pale face.
How could I replace my father? In any task? He ruled the Underworld as king. He held the lives of all mortals in his grasp. He could take away the breath of the living with a single touch.
He was called Lord of Death, God of the Underworld, Hades, the Grim Reaper . . .
But to me, he was Father.
