In the Dead of the Night || Winter Soldier

"Show me a hero and I'll write you a tragedy." - F. Scott Fitzgerald

Victoria Morana Kingsley is average in nearly every aspect of her life. She isn't a great fighter. She isn't a brilliant genius. She doesn't have the greatest paying career. And on top of it all, she's not the most social butterfly in the world. There is, however, one teensy tiny thing that separates her from your average human being.

She can talk to the dead.

Although, they're not the most stimulating source of conversation in the world.

Necromancy is a magical art as old as time itself, and in a time of Gods, magic and super heroes, being discovered for what she is, is the last thing Tori wants. But upon finding a man with a metal arm collapsed in the snow on the side of the road - who five years prior tried to kill her - not being discovered for what she is becomes all that much harder. Throw a budding, complex romance into the midst, and you have the beginnings of a story of grisly chaos, black magic, old friendships, witch hunts, death of various kinds and irregular love.

For true, unrequited love, is not finding someone who silences your demons, but whose demons dance well with your own.
