Reaper: The Beginning
by Jen L Grey
2019
Before she broke the rules, she was trained to take souls, not save them. This origin story follows how one reaper chose to heal instead of reap, and how that decision set off consequences that start tearing her world apart.
Reaper of Water
by Jen L Grey
2019
When the next artifact pulls her toward waters that hide more than monsters, she has to keep moving, even as enemies close in. The deeper she goes, the more she realizes the line between healing and breaking the world is razor thin.
Reaper of Flames
by Jen L Grey
2019
The world is destabilizing, and the artifacts tied to it don’t stay buried. As a reaper who heals, she’s dragged into a conflict fueled by fire, power, and vengeance, where every rescue risks making the collapse even worse.
Reaper of Wings
by Jen L Grey
2018
A missing artifact and a growing imbalance in the supernatural world put her on a deadline she can’t ignore. With danger coming from above and below, she must choose allies carefully, because one wrong move could send everything into free fall.
Reaper of Earth
by Jen L Grey
2018
Trying to heal instead of reap has consequences, and Earth is where they hit hardest. Pulled into a hunt for powerful artifacts, she faces enemies who believe mercy is weakness, and a world that may punish her for every life she saves.
Series background & context
The Artifact Reaper Saga is an urban fantasy series built around one big, rule-breaking choice: a reaper decides to heal instead of reap. That decision isn’t treated like a cute exception, it’s the kind of change that makes an entire system start to crack.
The series setup is captured in the tagline: she chose mercy, and now the world is imploding. From there, the books follow the consequences as the balance of the supernatural world shifts and powerful forces react.
Artifacts play a central role, and the story leans into that hunt-and-consequence momentum. Titles like Reaper of Earth, Reaper of Wings, Reaper of Flames, and Reaper of Water suggest a path through different kinds of power, each with its own dangers and fallout.
Mercy can start a war.
The saga includes an origin point in Reaper: The Beginning, which frames how the main character became someone willing to break the rules of her own kind. As the series progresses, the tension comes from two directions at once: external threats trying to restore control, and internal doubt about whether saving people is worth what it’s doing to the world.
Expect a fast pace, sharp supernatural stakes, and a protagonist who’s constantly forced to decide what “right” means when every option has a body count. If you like urban fantasy with an ongoing arc, big consequences, and a heroine who keeps choosing compassion even when it’s dangerous, this series fits.
