Gloom in Gold: The Awakening
Lilith had no recollection of her life. She lost everything aside from her name. Saved from certain death, she found herself a home in the residence of six people, whom she all felt attracted to. Together they researched her origin and those strange, untamable powers she had hidden within her, but much more evolved between them. More than any of them could expect, or could they? Until someone became aware of her existence and wanted to prey on her. Warning! This is a reverse-harem story, meaning that there are polyamorous relationships going on. Therefore there will be a lot of sexual content, mature language as well as fighting scenes including gore and blood as well as some horror elements. Not suited for minors! Please be aware of that before reading and have fun :).Complete
