A mesmerizing debut in urban fantasy introduces readers to a shadowy realm beneath London's streets, capturing the imagination of those who admire works like Legendborn and Ben Aaronovitch's stories. At the story's core is Amy, an empath who can perceive the auras of London's nocturnal supernatural beings. Though her gift is profound, her understanding is incomplete, leading her to wander the city nightly in search of clarity. On the other hand, Gerald is a Reaper—a mercenary on the cusp of a significant transformation, poised to embrace his destined power and fulfill his family's expectations. One evening, Amy's path crosses with Gerald's as she detects his uniquely unfamiliar aura. Driven by curiosity, she intervenes, setting the stage for an unexpected alliance. Grateful for her assistance, Gerald extends a compelling proposition: to join him as a partner and gain entry to the enigmatic underground world, of which she has merely scratched the surface. Their initial task as partners is to uncover the fate of a girl who has mysteriously disappeared.
