death fantasy love mystery

No one knows the songs of death quite like Esper Vera. She was taught to never get attached and so she acted like the wind; cold, sometimes soothing, but never stays long enough. In the loud and sleepless town of Necrorest, there are those who listen and those who act. With Esper's mother's clock running out, she is given an opportunity to marry, but at the cost of the mysterious walls of the Ruuse Estate.

All is Fair in Love and Espionage by Sunnstar

(Completed) From the moment Alice Lark was born to a high-strung, dysfunctional family, a subconscious chunk of her brain always knew that somehow, the heavens-slurred stars of the sky would all conspire to pit her against enemies not always her own height. It turns out that these not-so-mediocre premonitions are on the verge of becoming true, more than a decade after the day her mother died in a car crash. Alice and her family (consisting of only her father at this point) have sunken into an even deeper well of depression. Her father, with a newfound mourning for the charcoal-haired beauty whose ivory skin glowed with a sticky luminescence even after she died, has reverted to a fuzzy, extreme state of alcoholism. Alice finds herself completely alone, tossed into a confusing world of classic high school and adolescence, boy crushes, annoying friends that make a tag-along of her. She always thought she had enough problems on her plate, working her knuckles to the bone to provide for her stagnant, vacant-eyed father who sits in their house clutching an olive-green bottle, day after day. But things take a turn for the worse (if that's even possible at this point) when a mysterious visitor brings unwelcome news about Sophie Lark's real cause of death. Alice is forcefully thrown into a world she does not belong in, but seems to fit into perfectly: a world of espionage and love, passion and war, mafias, guns, and danger. Before she can return to normal high school, she must avenge her mother and protect her father (and herself!) from an ever-looming death. All is fair in love and espionage. Or is it?

New Vessel by Tessedan

Eska's life has been shaped by the constant threat of the wilds and the even greater danger posed by the church. In their secluded home beyond the city walls, Eska was taught the skills to survive in a world teeming with monstrous creatures, her childhood marked by rigorous training, resourceful hunting and unyielding discipline. Beneath her exterior lies a dangerous secret: her mastery of Bloodcraft, a rare and forbidden magic that allows her to manipulate her own blood as a weapon. The church views her power as heresy, branding those like her as abominations. Their relentless hunt for Bloodcraft users has forced Eska and Oblea to live a life of quiet exile, far from the safety of the towering walls that protect humanity. But the wilds are unforgiving, and no amount of isolation can keep Eska hidden forever. As whispers of her existence reach dangerous ears, Eska's carefully constructed world begins to unravel and her survival skills are put to the ultimate test. *** The story is finished but I'll be posting the chapters daily!
