Mowing

THE NARRATIVES CONTINUE AND NEW REAPERS ARRIVE ON THE SCENE... There are countless stories that could be told about the Grim Reaper's Guild. Hundreds of years have passed between the time Nimbus took charge of humanity and the time the Reaper Goddard tried to turn the system upside down. Humans have long lived in a world without hunger, disease and death, with reapers serving as living instruments of population control. Cries from the book cover: STORIES YOU DON'T KNOW YET!
