By day, Elias Thorne is a promising doctoral candidate in ancient history, meticulously researching Roman legal precedents. By night, he is the Reaper, a vigilante dispensing justice in the corrupt underbelly of New Orleans. In a world where latent psychic abilities are awakening – precognition, telekinesis, empathic manipulation – Elias grapples with his own burgeoning talent: manipulating memories, a power feared and outlawed. The death of his family, twisted by a corrupt senator wielding empathic influence, fuels his dual existence. He walks a tightrope, one misstep threatening to expose him to the very forces he fights, and branding him a monster instead of a hero.
