The young girl from the first book who was made Death has sent Fox to bring Sarah, now an old woman, to the Underworld. But her daughter Verine insists that Fox come back later because her youngest brother, Cyrus has not said goodbye yet. He is off fighting in World War I. So Fox says he will come back on the next full moon.
But Cyrus is not alone in those horrid fields. A stray reaper is keeping guard over him. And it's not alone. Alice and Ginny are there and the reaper of war is, of course, they're ready to take everyone down with him. Battles fought between humans and reapers are fought under the moon and its anyone's guesses whether Cyrus will make it back to see his mother before she passes.
This is a complex book series and a very intriguing one. It was interesting to move the story so far forward. But then time is no different to most of these characters. I liked that Sarah was given a long life to live out on her own terms and left to raise her family alone, especially after all she did for them. It was fitting that Fox came for her even if she never mentioned him to her granddaughter like she did everyone else. This was a really good book and I am eager to see where the next book takes the story.
