The Books

Gods don’t die. They get put in coffins.

Myrrin Gaeus has spent centuries making sure they stay there.

As a Reaper, Myrrin’s work is simple in theory: contain what should never be free, repair what is failing, and survive whatever wakes beneath the lid. With her husbands, Runemaster Gorn and Tiger Alpha Therm, she has built a life around dangerous assignments, old gods, and a marriage sturdy enough to weather almost anything.

Then the systems begin to fail.

Coffins are being altered. Ancient bargains are stripped down to commands. A secretive organization called M.A.P. is treating gods, Reapers, Alphas, and even pregnancy itself as material to be studied, improved, and controlled. While Myrrin fights to protect a long-awaited child, another Reaper disappears into the Facility, and the woman responsible for assigning them all is becoming increasingly unable to tell the difference between a person and the function they serve.

What begins as damaged containment becomes something far larger: a battle over who gets to decide what a body is for, whether survival is enough, and what happens when people who have spent centuries serving the system finally begin telling it no.

A Coffin of Roses is the first novel in the Grave Robbers series, a dark fantasy saga of imprisoned gods, Reapers, dangerous magic, complicated marriages, institutional horror, and the families people build in the spaces between catastrophes.

Yuri Thornside is a Reaper, a queen, and a prisoner inside a facility built to turn living bodies into obedient weapons.

Evanu calls his experiments necessary. He keeps Yuri cold, contained, and pregnant while his machines repeatedly suppress the scythe she was born to wield. But every failed restraint proves the same thing: Yuri was never made to submit.

Marx was created to stabilize dangerous assets. As a Lion Alpha, his orders are simple—control Yuri, protect the pregnancy, and preserve Evanu’s work. Instead, he finds a woman fighting to remain herself while the god outside her cell strips away her choices one procedure at a time. The closer Marx gets, the harder it becomes to pretend that obedience and protection are the same thing.

Beyond the facility, ancient coffins are failing. Gods are waking. Reapers are disappearing. Every name uncovered leads deeper into a system of captivity, power, and secrets that were never meant to survive.

To escape, Yuri must decide whether she can trust the Alpha assigned to control her. Marx must choose between the purpose he was given and the woman who has become more important than his orders.

Because some coffins hold gods.

Others hold names powerful enough to destroy everything built upon them.

Grave Robbers: A Coffin of Names is Book Two in the Grave Robbers dark fantasy series, featuring Reapers, shifters, imprisoned gods, morally complicated bonds, and a world where power always carries a price.

The gods were never meant to wake this soon.

Lover is loose, her coffin is spent, and no Coffinmaker exists to build another.

Across the Twelve Kingdoms, the Municipal Authority Project is cutting through ancient wards, straightening magical lattices, sealing feeder routes, and calling the damage progress. The coffins are beginning to react. Some are learning the shape of the threat. Others are simply failing.

And the Reapers are running out of time.

Koris Halren has survived gods, coffins, captivity, and Evanu’s experiments. What he has never managed to escape is Myrrin Gaeus.

When a containment failure throws the two Reapers together again, old desire collides with a biological force neither of them can safely ignore. Four days later, Myrrin discovers the impossible: she is pregnant with Koris’s child, and the pregnancy is developing far too quickly.

But their child is only one piece of a much larger change.

Newborn Reapers are appearing where none should exist. Ancient coffin systems are recognizing patterns their keepers never taught them. General is becoming harder to contain. MAP is escalating from ignorance to open violence. And every attempt to control the crisis exposes another truth about the world beneath the world everyone thought they understood.

While Myrrin fights to keep the coffin network alive, Koris is dragged deeper into a divine system that has always demanded more from him than he wanted to give.

Some things survive fire.

Others become the ash from which the next disaster is built.

Coffin of Ashes is the third book in the Grave Robbers series, an adult dark fantasy saga of ancient gods, dangerous magic, complicated families, morally gray choices, and the Reapers responsible for keeping all of it from coming apart.
