Reaping: The New Justice

By Kurtis Lauffer

If you died and were offered a way to remain in the realm of the living-unseen, unheard, and forever changed-would you accept it?

When Drake Themus dies, he meets the Grim Reaper in a cemetery and is offered an impossible choice: cross over, or remain behind as something new. Something other.

Drake becomes Justice, a reaper tasked with guiding souls whose deaths demand more than passage alone. As he learns the rules of this hidden order, he encounters other reapers-Accident, Murder, War, and more-each shaped by the manner of death they oversee and the lessons they carry.

Drawing on what he learned in life, Justice must weigh intent, consequence, and responsibility as he determines how each soul should be judged. But in a realm governed by rules older than humanity itself, certainty is rare, and every decision leaves a mark.

Reaping: The New Justice is a dark, philosophical exploration of justice, consequence, and what remains after life ends-where judgment is never simple, and becoming a reaper may be the hardest sentence of all.
