New York, 1927.

Separated from the reaper she loves, Elise Saint journeys through the city alone. But with the Saint family in decline and a lethal new reaper-venom drug on the market, Harlem is more dangerous than ever. And amidst this chaos, Elise's sister, Josi, goes missing.

Layla Quinn, also reeling from her lost love, navigates the shifting alliances in the New York underworld. When an ancient reaper reappears, and a murderous beast starts terrorising the city, a mystery emerges that could help explain Josi's disappearance.

But as they are drawn back together by long-held secrets, Elise and Layla must ask themselves: is there a future for the reapers in New York? And does it hold a place for their love?

In this stunning conclusion to the bestselling Ravenous Fate duology, Elise and Layla confront their pasts, and find out whether there can be love after death.

About the Author

Hayley Dennings grew up in the Bay Area, where she spent most of her time writing and reading in between being a three-sport athlete. Her love of words and championing queer Black voices led her to getting a BA in English and French from Loyola Marymount University with a concentration in diversity and inclusion. When she isn't writing or reading, she's working her tech day job, managing her YouTube channel, spending time with her dogs, painting, or baking.
