🏆 HONORABLE MENTION - OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST 2024 🏆

A witch has to pretend to be the wife of the Prince of the Dead in exchange for resurrecting her lover.
                                                                              ⋯⋯⋯
Mavyn of Krauss has everything under control until her rich and influential fiancé keels over and abandons her. Now with no place in society as a witch, she moves to the next best option―summon an immortal from the Land of the Dead and strike a deal to resurrect him.

Enter Valen Nox, a prince of the Underworld, bringing along an irresistible deal to the table. She will have a chance to comb through the Underworld's domains for her fiancé in exchange for being Valen's date for his sister's wedding.

But when the truth comes out with the promise of a conspiracy, Mavyn is thrust into the wicked world of the Kathari, the Underworld's immortal rulers, and their schemes for dominion. Now, she must play by their rules while crafting deadly plans of her own―plans that may endanger more than what Valen bargained for. After all, the most logical thing to do in a court deep in chaos is to use it to one's advantage.

From the award-winning author of 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘓𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘕𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘋𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘌𝘯𝘥 comes a tale of the deadly and the wicked, set in a world where life and death are not so simple, and there may be more to lose at the edge of the void than at the end of memory.

Riverly trains as an apprentice healer. Every day, she works tirelessly to mend the broken and bloodied Imperial soldiers who protect the Empire from the vicious forces of a radical cleric. And, every day, the war chews up and spits out the lives of conscripts. When a soldier appears in need of saving, Riverly's skills and quick thinking are not enough. Exhausted and frustrated by yet another loss, she makes a rash decision that changes the trajectory of his and her fates: She accidentally resurrects him from the afterlife. The reward for her efforts? The soldier orders Riverly by sword-point to meet the man commanding the Imperial forces, the Lord High Commander, a man known for his cunning and brutal tactics. What Riverly finds in the mysterious commander, however, is something both familiar and treacherous. Where she can snatch life away from the grip of death, he can call upon the deadly shades of the netherworld to strip men of their souls. Riverly now must make a choice: Enter the Lord High Commander's service and win the war, while risking her humanity and freedom, or flee and allow the shadow of death to grow across the Empire and endanger everyone she loves.

As a new queen rises to power, the kings of Caeleste grow unrest. The Inlustris in their sights, they send an assassin to Antonella Feulune's palace, and the war is declared. Inexperienced and filled with grief, Antonella sends off her fiancé on a thirty day trip to get her a rose in hopes of feeling better. She takes the opportunity to use her magic to disguise herself as a commoner and escapes palace grounds, her goal to find all the information needed to defeat the surrounding kingdoms of Caeleste before they flattened them into nothing. When she runs into dangerous rogue gang, the Tenebrosus Bleeders, she's forced to join them to avoid having her head severed from her body. Parading around as a gang member, she must keep up with her disguise. Tensions are heightening. The people are turning against her. The land of Caeleste is suffering. But she will not allow the Inlustris to fall into the hands of the greedy, and she's not afraid to burn everything to the ground to protect it. A battle of light and dark magic, buried secrets, manipulation, and betrayal. ********************* Cover: @aneonsky
