Death's Eternal Embrace

For millennia, Eryva, the Avatar of Death, has walked silently among the realms, ensuring the balance between life and oblivion. Feared and revered, she has never faltered in her duty-until now. Drawn to the turmoil sparked by Shao Kahn's conquest, Eryva finds herself intrigued by one soul above all others: Kitana, the princess of Edenia.

As the princess grapples with the truth of her lineage and her father's tyranny, Eryva watches from the shadows, captivated by Kitana's unwavering strength and beauty. For the first time, the harbinger of death feels a longing she cannot define-a yearning not to claim a soul but to protect it. Torn between her eternal duty and her newfound desire, Eryva must navigate the chaos of the Mortal Kombat tournament while guarding Kitana from those who seek to manipulate her fate.

But how does the Avatar of Death pursue love when she is bound to be the end of all things? And what happens when Shao Kahn himself tempts fate by challenging a force beyond even the Elder Gods? In a battle for survival, destiny, and forbidden love, Eryva must decide whether she will be Kitana's savior-or her undoing.
