In the year 1350, a nameless intersex boy is sent on an impossible quest to discover the origins of the Black Plague. Travelling afar, he meets with strange and shady characters who teach him dark lessons about life and death. Over time, he becomes an investigator whose lack of identity takes on a mythical meaning. After a cross-country Eurotrip, and a brief thrill in Mauritania, he retreats to Scotland, only to find a worse challenge waiting for him there... in the form of The Heathen Lord.
Disclaimer: This novel contains scenes of violence, sexuality, drugs, sexual assault, and disturbing subject matter. It is intended for readers 18 and up. Viewer discretion is advised.
Note: This story establishes the time and setting for Grim
Journeys, but is actually a very long and intense read! Unlike the
lighter-hearted tales that follow. It's like the gritty, 2-hour movie
that comes before a TV series adaptation. If you're not interested, feel
free to skip ahead and come back later! Just scroll past all the black
chapter icons until you see some color. Be forewarned, though: the stories that follow are just as mature, and often times, disturbing.
Hello, again! I've been working my hands to the bone for a whole year now. ;-3 But I wanted to get something out for all of you to read, so while I continue working on what comes next, please enjoy this short story about the first Grim Reaper.
UPDATE: I had to bump up the age rating for this book! If you want something 14A instead, please find "Soul Reaper" in my list of novels! It contains a series guide that includes age ratings. Click my profile icon to go there.
