The Reaperverse Saga
Before there were superpowers... there were Godpowers.
Set in the raw and turbulent infancy of Christianity, the Reaperverse series by J.R. Lightfoot thrusts readers into a divine conflict where angels have fallen, demons walk in daylight, and mankind teeters on the edge of damnation.
At the center of this cosmic chaos is Jaml—a Reaper, a supernaturally empowered warrior anointed by God Himself. Tasked with hunting down the devilspawn that plague the Earth, Jaml carries the Sword of Darkness and the weight of divine judgment.
But what happens when the line between monster and man begins to blur?

A War for the Soul of Man
The Reaperverse isn't just fantasy—it's a spiritual epic wrapped in fire and steel. Every choice Jaml makes echoes through history, redefining what it means to fight for God in a world infected by evil.
Reaper – Book One
With the birth and crucifixion of Jesus Christ, the War of Hosts has ended and the Fallen have been cast down—but the battle for mankind’s soul has only just begun. No longer fought in the heavens, the war now rages in the hearts and lands of men. As Lucifer unleashes his dark legions—demons of every kind—across the earth, God commissions a new force to rise: the Reapers.
These warriors, infused with the power of the Reaper Angel, are chosen to root out the devilspawn infecting humanity and clear the path for the Apostles who will spread the fledgling faith of Christianity. Armed with divine authority and relentless resolve, the Reapers are mankind’s last defense in an era teetering on the edge of spiritual ruin.
Among them is Jaml—a seasoned Reaper whose latest mission begins with whispers of a demon seeking to acquire the legendary Weapons of the Apocalypse.
These cursed relics hold the power to resurrect the Four Horsemen and ignite the final reckoning. Joined by a battle monk named Kem and wielding one of the forbidden weapons himself, Jaml must confront a growing infestation of evil and recover the remaining artifacts before Revelation is prematurely unleashed.
This is not just a battle between light and darkness—it's a race against prophecy itself.
Retribution: Chronicles of the Reaper
– Book Two
In the smoldering aftermath of the Colley massacre, Reaper Jaml turns inward—seeking healing through solitude, prayer, and punishing discipline. But peace remains elusive. When called to aid a fellow Reaper in tracking a rogue prince, Jaml agrees—reluctantly. What begins as a mission of redemption quickly unravels into something far more dangerous: a spiraling descent into chaos, deception, and war.
Kingdoms are collapsing under dark influences. Vengeful rulers seek blood. And in the shadows, a fallen angel moves with sinister intent—one bent on lighting the spark of a war that could consume the world. Amid the growing darkness, Jaml faces a terrifying truth: a new kind of monster has risen... and it wears the face of those he was sent to protect.
As the boundaries between right and wrong blur, Jaml must make an impossible choice—honor his divine orders to eradicate evil, or defy them to save a corrupted humanity. Each step forward brings him closer to his most lethal adversary yet: the Dark Reaper.
Set during the fragile rise of early Christianity, Retribution is a sweeping epic of supernatural warfare, moral reckoning, and spiritual awakening. Lucifer’s forces swarm the earth—demons, lycans, and corrupted kings—while God’s Reapers stand as humanity’s last line of hope. As the conflict between heavenly brothers intensifies, mankind must choose a side… or be devoured in the crossfire.
Follow Jaml, slayer of the fallen and bearer of the Sword of Darkness, as he fights not just to survive—but to find salvation in a world drowning in sin and shadows.
