Isla Hart

Struck by a fatal illness, the kind-hearted crown prince of Ashenburg welcomes the end-until the ethereal grim reaper, Serissa, pulls his soul free by hand because her ancient weapon won't obey. Instead of ascending to Heaven, he's dragged into the Veil: a serene yet shadowy realm of creatures, black tea, and one very annoyed reaper who can't seem to get rid of him.
