Ren knows that this will mean the end of her life, and decides to flee to Japan in search of her mother. Not only do her physical attributes favor her mother who was Shinigami, but her abilities also differ from other Reapers which leads her to be mercilessly tormented.Īfter a particularly harsh confrontation with her peers, Ren loses control of her emotions and her powers leading to her severely injuring one of the other Reapers. While Ren was raised solely by her father as a British Reaper, her peers see her as much too Shinigami and do not accept her into their society. However, Ren does not fit seamlessly into either society as she is bi-racial. Reapers and Shinigami are both soul collectors who serve their respective God/Goddess of Death by facilitating a soul’s passage into the afterlife. The Keeper of Night is a twisted and engaging horror/fantasy tale of a half British Reaper, half Japanese Shinigami.
