The Divine granted the Angel of Death, The Grim Reaper, a chance at mortality to try and understand compassion in a world where mythological monsters and men co-exist organically. When The Reaper fails time and time again to learn the emotions of mankind, he leaves ruin in his wake, along with his own corpse. The Divine decides to twist The Reaper's chaos on himself as he becomes the guardian of four prodigal children across the world of Ohm. The Divine refuses the Reaper's godhood over the world of Ohm until he proves his compassion for the four gifted newborns as they are raised in a world that would adore and fear their powers. As the Reaper leaves behind a reputation to be deemed the Devil, the only way to redeem his seat of righteousness, The Divine would release The Unbound himself to challenge The Reaper's rule. As Death and the Devil wage war, The Reaper would learn that other godly entities may awaken when the balance is threatened.
I took a while to finish this because we were in the middle of moving, but Stourac sure knows how to write a page-turner and build a fascinating world! Thank you for sending me this copy—I can’t wait to read OF BLACK SHEEP & SHADOWS next.
With no hesitation, Stourac pulls a reader into his world. With such a vast and strong ability to hook the audience in, the story of Grimm lays it's roots our minds. I look forward to the continuation of this story and praise Stourac for his work here.
