Reap & Sow by Charlotte B. Plumb

from $11.99
Hardcover:

A young woman bargains with a demon to save her brothers, only to lose her heart in this slow-burn romantasy about dark magic, unlikely love, and the imperfect beauty of mortality.

This stunning hardcover edition of Reap & Sow will feature deluxe embellishments, including a dazzling metallic jacket, full color printed edges, patterned end papers, and a specially designed case.

Eda Shaw arranges dark pacts on behalf of Mr. Night, a capricious demon, until her brothers face arrest and she bargains with a second demon, Kit'rath, to save them. As the two work to protect her family and the town of Blackbridge from catastrophe, an unexpected attraction grows between them.

Reap & Sow is a gothic romantasy built around slow-burn romance and the price of supernatural contracts. Its themes include mortality, magic, and what a bargain costs the person who makes it.

Plumb's debut was among the first titles on Berkley XO, a new crossover imprint for genre fiction. Kirkus Reviews noted sharper edges than the genre often offers and called the leads' shift from unwilling allies to romantic partners the book's beating heart.

The tone is witty and a little dangerous, with schemes, pacts, and rival demons driving the plot.

This hardcover is the deluxe edition, with a metallic jacket, full-color printed edges, and patterned endpapers, and it suits readers of dark, slow-burn romantasy.
