"A fantastic high-stakes adventure on a ghost ship sailing forever into eternity, where every soul is (literally) worth fighting for—what's not to love? Devon Taylor weaves an endearing tale of friendship and loss with heart-stopping action and a whole lot of terrifying monsters. You'll root for Rhett and his fellow reapers through every twist and turn!" —Rin Chupeco, author of The Bone Witch and The Girl from the Well
Death is just the beginning.

After dying in a terrible car accident, Rhett awakens in the afterlife and is recruited to join the crew of the Harbinger, a colossal seafaring vessel tasked with ferrying the souls of the dead. To where exactly, no one knows. But the crew must get the souls there, and along the way protect them from vicious soul-eating monsters that will stop at nothing to take the ship and all of its occupants.
Rhett and his new friends have a hard enough time fighting back the monsters that grow bolder and more ferocious every day. But then a new threat emerges, a demon who wants something that Rhett has. And if she gets it, it could mean the end of everything... for both the living and the dead.
Chosen by readers like you for Macmillan's young adult imprint Swoon Reads, The Soul Keepers is a pulse-pounding, cinematic adventure by debut author Devon Taylor.
Praise for The Soul Keepers:

"This pirate thriller starts off running and doesn't stop ... This series starter will please teens who enjoy the ghostly tales and dark sarcasm of Neil Gaiman and Ransom Riggs." —School Library Journal

      Gr 9 Up-Following a stranger named Basil to the Harbinger-an otherworldly ship of souls-Rhett is stunned to learn that he and his parents were killed in a car accident. No one can tell him the Harbinger's destination, but he quickly learns that he is now a syllector and will help collect souls and save them from wandering the world confused. The overwhelming personal changes he faces take a back seat to his new cause; his concerns for the souls of his parents and threats from psychons, monsters who eat souls, become his priority. This pirate thriller starts off running and doesn't stop, but the relationships between Rhett and his new companions-all young like himself-mirror the reality of the adolescent need for acceptance in a way that transcends entertainment. Rhett may be only 17, but he matures beyond his youth as he finds purpose in the meaningfulness of his work. The strong character development in this story gives layers to the engaging fantasy element. VERDICT This series starter will please teens who enjoy the ghostly tales and dark sarcasm of Neil Gaiman and Ransom Riggs.-Kerry Sutherland, Akron-Summit County Public Library

      After his accidental death, Rhett becomes part of a team collecting the souls of the dying. But even the afterlife has its dangers: soul-devouring monsters are stalking the team, and another frightening entity is specifically targeting him. The premise of a newbie reaper learning the ropes is familiar, but the mythos and setting (aboard the Harbinger, a freighter en route tono one knows, exactly) are original and the atmosphere spooky.
