title: Promises of the Dead
author: Stork, Miranda
description: When Gabe died, he didn’t go alone. A horrific car accident killed not only himself, but also his wife and daughter.
  And he blames himself.
  As a Reaper, Gabe has found new purpose in his afterlife. But the guilt and anger of what he believes he did weighs heavy on his soul. And after the Reapers marched into Helheim and stole a soul from under Empusa’s nose, they’ve all been target one on her hitlist—starting with Gabe. Soon, he’s haunted by more than his thoughts…he’s haunted by a Spectre.
  Talia Riverbottom is a non-glittering faerie, employed by the Hall of Rest as a Spectre Hunter. When she first gets assigned to help Gabe with his problem, she sees a troubled man who will never be free of his ghosts, unless he forgives himself for something that was never his fault. But the secret she hides herself may be the key to unlocking happiness for both of them—but only if she can save him.
  All of the Reapers must work together to fight back to evil that has penetrated their ranks, and stop Empusa from getting what she really wants, at any cost. The battle is only just beginning, and they will need every skill and strength they have to win.
  And will Gabe ever be free of his ghosts?
