''Legend of the Red Reaper'' is a franchise based on the character created by ([[AuthorAvatar and embodied, some would say]]) Tara Cardinal. It began as a comic before being adapted into a movie written and directed by her which was produced by Uwe Boll. Yes, ''that'' Uwe Boll. The independent film was one of his better received films and has gone on to minor geek appreciation.

Recently, a prequel novel to the movie was published by Creator/RagnarokPublications called ''Sword Sisters.'' This novel was written by Tara Cardinal in conjunction with Creator/AlexBledsoe. This chronicled the teenage years of the character who would grow up to the titular Reaper.
