\nbetween our world and the afterlife, who must embrace their role as reapers
\nto prevent the End Times. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy<\/i> meets Father

Death is just a day job you can\u2019t quit\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Emma and Mark had a bad day. The worst part of it was dying. But, according
\nto Death, the Rider on the Pale Horse and first horseman of the apocalypse,
\nthings aren\u2019t that simple. Turns out the sand in their hourglass is
\nstuck in place. Somewhere between life and death, they\u2019re put to work
\nas Death\u2019s assistants, reaping the souls of the living until
\nit\u2019s time for their final clock out\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

To compound matters, despite their omnipotence, the four horsemen are
\nfacing an existential threat \u2013 one they\u2019re ill-equipped and
\nill-prepared to combat.<\/span><\/p>\n

Emma and Mark must reap like their afterlives depend on it, to help prevent
\nthe End Times \u2013 even if it means scuppering the one opportunity they
\nhave at being granted a second chance at life.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Filled with humour, romantic tension, and suspense, Jon Smith utilises a
\nwitty, lightly sarcastic ensemble of flawed but loveable characters. It will
\nappeal to mainstream fantasy readers and hopeless romantics, as well as
\nthose who enjoy a good story and a good laugh.<\/span><\/p>\n
