Blamed for a lethal disease she did not cause, a reclusive necromancer sets out to cure the sickness and save a town before any more victims perish. *** Draped in a cloak of blood and deemed a wicked monster, Evylyn is an immortal necromancer, feared enough to silence any mention of her name. As the accused source of a deadly disease, paired with her infamy in necromancy, she avoids the town of Ensceas at all costs. But Evylyn's fate is decided by a coin toss, and she's forced to break free from her chains of destiny, nearly paying with her life. She's rewarded by a bounty hunter tracking her down, hungry to give her the sanguinary death she deserves. In her eleventh hour, a fellow demigoddess gives her two things: a second chance, and a way to weasel her way into the hearts of those that despise her. Simply, she must remedy the incurable disease that she allegedly caused, preferably before the entire town of Ensceas falls victim to its sickness. Thankfully, Evylyn's infamy didn't come from thin air, and if there's anyone that can rival death, it's her. ----- ❈ ----- INCLUDES: ❈ Sapphic demigoddesses ❈ Badass sunshine x soft-hearted grump ❈ Magical, mysterious malady ❈ Cute baby animals FEATURED ON: ❈ @highfantasy Featured High Fantasy Stories, @OpenNovellaContest's Longlist ❈ @Fantasy, @Romance, @highfantasy, @darkfantasy, @mythandlegend, @StoriesUndiscovered 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝘿𝙖𝙩𝙚: 02/01/2023 𝙀𝙣𝙙 𝘿𝙖𝙩𝙚: 4/17/2023 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙙 𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩: 28k 𝙂𝙚𝙣𝙧𝙚𝙨: High Fantasy, Romance, Adventure 𝘾𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧: @ZoeAlamort © 2023 [First Edition]

Little does she know, he's more than just her protector - he might just be her biggest threat yet.

But when her stalker grows bolder and her movie star father is arrested for tax evasion, Eva's world spins out of control as she's forced to hire a new bodyguard, Gabe. The last thing Evangeline wants is more security, but despite her resistance, she finds herself inexplicably drawn to Gabe, a far cry from the polished Hollywood actors she's used to dating. What Evangeline doesn't realize is that Gabe isn't just her protector-he's a threat. Secretly involved with a criminal gang, he's planning to rob her during an upcoming gala to pay off his debts. As their chemistry intensifies, the line between professionalism and desire blurs, and both struggle to keep their distance, knowing that trust could lead to heartbreak-or worse. Gabe must decide if the reward is worth the risk, while Eva starts to question whether to trust the glitz and glamour she's always known - or the one man who could hurt her the most.
