Publisher's Synopsis
Excalibur's life is on the line. After failing to claim a soul more than once, he is at risk of being taken out of the game--for good. In order to save his own skin, he must hunt her down and kill her lest the council learn of his mistakes. But Excalibur isn't the only one looking for Sophie. Death teams up with the reaper to help him claim her soul, but little does she know that Excalibur is onto her scheme. Death is hiding something. She seems to want the girl dead more than Excalibur, and he's determined to find out why. He trades sides and takes to helping the girl discover herself. Sophie and Excalibur make for an unlikely pair, but together they scour Vailing in search of answers, cutting down anyone that stands in their way with the swipe of a scythe.
