Lilly found a girl who she thought she could share her life with. A girl with long black hair and bright eyes but there was just one little problem. That girl didn't know she liked girls -- a girl who said she was as pin straight as her ebony tresses. So, this was going to be harder than she originally thought. Still, she wasn't about to give up. Especially when everything she has ever wanted was right in front of her eyes. The story of a girl trying to figure out who she is, along with who she loves — the girl that once had her heart or the one who is slowly stealing it day by day. {Sequel to CURLS} {Poetry #59 / Romance #481} {Poetry #57 / Romance #463} {Poetry #55 / Romance #425}

Evil spirits. A cursed prince. Death itself in disarray. Iris just wants to go home, but fate has other plans for this young priestess and her odd companions. /// The land of Erinlin is dying, its ancient traditions choked out by the Kaerent church and its true priestesses, the Candlemaidens, increasingly regarded with fear and suspicion. All Iris wants is to tend her candles, win her shade battles, and chat with the spirits of her realm. But when she is torn away from her home by the Kaerent king, she learns that her country needs her to be far more than a typical Candlemaiden-- she must be as the legendary priestesses of old and walk through Death itself. *** Cover help from the awesome @ArdenBrooks.
