Reap & Sow by Charlotte B. Plumb ($30.00, October 6, 2026, 9798217239689)
The penniless in Blackbridge have only two choices: sell the body or sell the soul. And thanks to Eda Shaw, business is booming.
Indentured to a capricious demon known as Mr. Night, Eda and her brothers arrange illicit Pacts on his behalf, luring the city's most desperate into trading years of their lives for their deepest desires. When a Pact goes awry and her brothers are arrested, Eda realizes she'll need an infernal ally of her own: Kit'rath, an infuriating demon with a curious penchant for humanity and the only being in Blackbridge that Mr. Night seems to fear. As they race to rescue her family and save the city from ruin, an undeniable connection sparks between mortal and demon.
But Kit's help doesn't come cheap. Now, Eda risks losing her heart to the one who claims her years—and saving herself may prove the steepest cost of all.
Rich with gothic atmosphere, sharp wit, and simmering romantic tension, Reap & Sow is a fantasy debut perfect for fans of Rachel Gillig, Hannah Whitten, and Heather Fawcett.
Author Charlotte B. Plumb sees her novel as "[A] light in the dark… Blackbridge is a city full of shadows and deceit, but therein lies the lesson. It's hard to see the good in humanity when you're in the thick of it. Sometimes it takes an outside perspective—even a demon's—to remind us of all the ways we're brilliant."
"A fresh voice, an electric and twisty plot, and a romance that strikes the perfect balance between hot and tender. Reap & Sow should be on every romantasy fans must-read list," says Brigitte Knightley, New York Times bestselling author of The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy.
