THE RIVER'S REAPER

(This runaway boy once floated toward freedom. Now he drifts back as the river’s ghost, carving justice in blood instead of dreams)

Where Jim’s blood fell, a legend was born.

Three years after Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the boy who once chased freedom down the Mississippi returns to its banks a changed man. When racists murder his closest friend, Jim, Huck’s laughter drowns in blood, and something ancient in the river answers his grief.

By moonlight, the Mississippi becomes his weapon. By dawn, it whispers his name: The River Reaper.
One by one, Huck hunts the men who took Jim’s life, planters, preachers, sheriffs, each death marked by the same blood-carved rune. As legend grows, so does the horror: a driftwood mask rising from the shallows, blue fire burning in its eyes, justice twisted into vengeance.

From the cotton fields of Missouri to the swamps of the Delta, the river runs red with retribution. But as Huck’s myth outgrows the man, the line between salvation and damnation dissolves, and the water begins to hunger for more.

The River’s Reaper is a brutal Southern Gothic reimagining of Twain’s classic, part ghost story, part revenge odyssey, and all blood, mud, and memory. The river always gives back what it’s owed.
