Description

New York City, 1926.

Jazz fills the streets of Harlem, dance halls pulse with life, and beneath the glamour of the roaring twenties lurks something far darker.

Reapers—once-human creatures with a terrifying vampire-like affliction—are spreading across the city, leaving fear and death in their wake. Standing against them is the powerful Saint family, whose reaper-hunting empire controls New York’s underworld as much as the criminals and nightclub kings who rule the night.

At the center of it all is Elise Saint.

Fresh home from Paris after five years away, Elise is expected to inherit her family’s dangerous legacy. But returning to Harlem means facing the truth she’s tried to escape: the reapers want her dead.

Meanwhile, Layla Quinn is fighting to survive as one of the very creatures Elise’s family hunts.

Turned into a reaper only five years earlier, Layla lost everything in a single night—her family, her humanity, and the protection she once relied on. Haunted by grief and trapped between worlds, she struggles to survive in a society that sees monsters instead of people.

As violence escalates across the city, Elise and Layla’s paths become dangerously intertwined. And in a world divided by bloodshed, power, and prejudice, they must decide whether they are enemies destined to destroy each other… or the only chance either of them has for changing the future.

Atmospheric, haunting, and richly woven with Jazz Age glamour, This Ravenous Fate blends vampires, history, and forbidden connection into a dark fantasy filled with danger and longing.
