The Cobalt Warrior

Until recently, his life consisted of feeding Diego, his Bull Mastiff and canine companion and playing video games. He also happens to be one of three handpicked by Hades himself to protect the Gate to the Underworld. Usually his job is boring. Check Reapers in and out, and make sure no souls get rowdy. If it wasn't for also helping Hades around his vineyard in Hood River Oregon, Theo would have it pretty easy.

However, that was all about to change when a Reaper arrived at the gate unexpectedly, and memories that should have stayed buried began to surface. Memories of the love of his life walking out the door without a second glance.

Panterra is a Reaper.

She's finally allowed to gather souls again. The first job she is given happens to be gathering a soul she loved and left centuries ago. Is her love for Theo stronger than the promise of freedom?

More lies in the balance than just Panterra's heart and Theo's soul. The fate of the Underworld is beginning to shift, and fulfilling her task may prove the tipping point.
