The Death Angel's Assistant

The ledger must balance. No exceptions. In the rain-slicked streets of Manhattan, Elara isn't a reaper, and she isn't an assassin. She is a mechanical necessity. As an assistant to the Death Angel, her job is to enforce the invisible architecture of the cosmos, tracking down the "glitches" and "complications"-unauthorized souls who have cheated their expiration dates and broken natural law. Every extra breath stolen by a living ghost creates a cascading deficit, threatening to tear the spiritual grid apart.
But when a high-stakes extraction on the Williamsburg Bridge goes violently wrong, Elara uncovers a dangerous underground economy.

Worse, they are tracing her own family signature, putting her beloved granddaughter Naomi directly in the crosshairs. Straddling the physical and supernatural realms, Elara must step into her true sovereign power as the Managing Member of her bloodline's historic estate.
To protect the living and answer a multi-generational debt, she will incorporate her operations at 169 Madison Avenue, using the ironclad laws of corporate underwritings to outmaneuver a spiritual war. Can she stabilize the system before a catastrophic sector purge erases the city?Step into the margin where corporate logistics meet supernatural suspense in this gripping urban thriller.
