Chronicles of Steele: Raven, written by Pauline Creeden, is a fast-paced book written in third person and narrates the story of Raven, a reaper, trained by her late father. With her fierce character, she brings an air of fear towards those who realizes who she is. She aims to redeem herself through putting a tie between the number of kills and the number of lives saved, and only requires one more person to save to even things out. Just as she thought she could get herself out, she receives a request from the Duke’s son to complete a mission: bring the Baron’s “possessed” brother to the Wood Witch. Will she accept it and live a life she had always wanted or will she pursue this mission that will pull her right back where she hopes not to be in?

Synopsis:

Human life has value.
The poor living in the gutter is as valuable as the rich living in a manor.
The scoundrel is no less valuable than the saint.
Because of this, every life a reaper takes must be redeemed.

Raven has lived by this first tenet since she was trained by her father to become a reaper. But since his death, she’s been spending years redeeming the lives she’s taken. By her count, she’s even and it’s time for that life to end. If she settles down and becomes a wife, she might just feel human again. But on the way to the life she thinks she wants, the baron of New Haven asks her to complete a task which she cannot ignore… Just when Raven decides to give up on her life as an assassin, she’s pulled right back in.

The Chronicles of Steele: Raven is a steampunk-inspired fantasy set in an alternate universe. (taken from Goodreads)
