Nathaniel is Death’s apprentice; seventeen years old and collecting souls on his boss’ behalf. It’s a position he didn’t ask for, but thanks to a deal made between Nathaniel’s dying father and Death, he doesn’t have much choice in the matter. Throw in the devil, a mysterious character called Blake, who cannot be described as entirely human, and a hulking brute, Hank, who is dangerous beyond measure as a result of an affliction that renders him fearless, and you’ve got yourself a recipe for action. Nathaniel seeks answers and must uncover the reasons behind his descent into his somewhat unsavoury profession. Also in search of answers is ex-soldier, Blake, who is hunting the devil for tricking him while he was still on duty in Afghanistan. Hank, however, is offered unlimited money from the devil to kill an allocation of marks, many of who are more dangerous than even he. The strands eventually integrate with the appearance of Ling, whose daughter is kidnapped by a savage dwarf (inspired by Rumpelstilzchen). The trio must work together in order to rescue the missing child, Ren-Lei, and set up a final showdown with the devil, where losing would be unthinkable. The book is new.
