The Reaper





From a thrilling new debut voice comes a dark and gripping urban fantasy, set in the heart of a hidden world beneath the streets of London - Perfect for fans of Legendborn and Ben Aaronovitch.

Amy is an empath, able to sense the auras of the supernatural creatures that stalk London at night. But sorely lacking in knowledge, she spends night after night searching for answers.

Gerald is a Reaper - a weapon for hire - on the verge of his Awakening. Of coming into his power and becoming the man his family need him to be. The man they demand he be.

When Amy stumbles across Gerald one night, she notices his strange aura, unlike anything she has felt before. Afraid, but desperate to know more, she follows, and he makes her an offer she can't refuse. If she becomes his partner, he will introduce her to a world she has only ever felt the shallow surface of:the secret underground city

And their first mission together:

Find a girl who murdered her own parents

Praise for The Reaper

Dark, moody - and tremendous fun. The Reaper digs a whole new layer into the London you know, spinning myth and legend into living, breathing intrigue.

Chloe Gong, New York Times bestselling author of Immortal Longings

Darkly thrilling, bitingly funny, and intriguing from the first sentence, Brown's vision of supernatural London grabs you by the throat from page one, and doesn't let go. I devoured it. Urban fantasy fans, watch out, there's a new star on the scene...

Esmie Jikiemi-Pearson, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Principle Moments.

THE REAPER is a truly amazing first book. The worldbuilding is amazing, the story is compelling, and I enjoyed Jackson P. Brown's debut book thoroughly. Can't wait till another installment.

Charlaine Harris

An exciting new voice in the genre . . . I loved the unique take on the lore of the Grim Reaper

Samantha Shannon, No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling author of The Priory of the Orange Tree
