The Smiling Reaper

by Steven Lindsay

Sometimes death isn't the end. Sometimes it's a beginning.
Anastasia's death opened up a world of possibilities for her, a world she had never even thought of. She has become a Reaper, the psychopomps who separate the souls of the dead from their corpses. But she isn't just any Reaper, she is glad to be one, for her new life offers opportunities her mortal life had never given her. And so begins her new life, one filled with magic and wonder, but the past cannot be so easily forgotten.
As Anastasia navigates the dangers of her new life, she must overcome the sorrows that eat away at her spirit, or she will become just another Grim Reaper, doomed to a joyless second life.
