Reaper of Souls · A fantasy short story

A young woman must outwit an evil sorcerer in order to save her brother or become one of his minions forever.

Unwilling to believe her brother is dead, Reggie discovers an underhanded deal made with Kahn, a less than ethical sorcerer, who collects humans to serve as slaves in his kingdom. In order to rescue her brother from his horrible fate, she must complete his failed task or be forced to serve Kahn forever. After being transported to his world, Reggie realizes that even if she beats Kahn at his own game, she’s at his mercy for him to uphold his end of the deal. All seems lost until Kahn’s discontented, self-serving brother, Helsing, arrives. Can Reggie convince Helsing to help her? And at what cost?

Reaper of Souls is a fantasy short story under fifty pages in length with minimal gore but may contain disturbing scenes not recommended for a younger audience.
