Immortality is only a glass away, but living forever comes with a cost.
The blood of Amanita Langton's ancestral line is the only known source of magical healing in the world, and that alone is enough to put her life in danger. After her mother's grisly murder, Ami is forced to flee her home in steam-powered London along with her father and a young man named Lysander, who insists he's been sent by the gods themselves to protect her. Ami simply thinks he's a nuisance.
Despite intentions to hide somewhere and live a quiet life, the journey quickly becomes a race to find the missing ingredients to the elixir of life, the provider of immortality, the drink of the gods, her ancestor's namesake: ambrosia. Unfortunately, immortality in a glass is a dangerous temptation, and some will stop at nothing to take it for themselves.
The longer Ami runs, the less she understands. Torn between love, her family, her future, and a magical legacy she never knew, Ami is forced to make impossible decisions not only for herself, but that could shape the fate of the world. The fate of the gods themselves is at stake in this magical Steampunk adventure piloted by a cast of enchanting characters and a heroine struggling with a question close to all our hearts: Who do you want to be?

Set Me As A Seal ✓
A time-traveling god. A mortal stuck in Ancient Greece. They have always been able to hear each other's thoughts, across time and space; the only problem is, they were never supposed to meet. Until they did. And it unravelled the balance of everything. ₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪ The immortal Greek god Evgenis' only job is to travel through time, making sure humanity stays on its course. This is what he was born to do. He was meant to be machine-like, cold, and detached from humanity - ready to invoke bloodshed as needed. His ability to follow through with his duty, however, is disrupted when he forms a mysterious internal bond with a mortal. You see, the Goddess of Love had a different idea for her son's future. Seeing the cruelty of the gods around her, she formed the unborn Evgenis with a secret gift: an eternal inner bond with a mortal. She chose Tharos - named for the strength of his heart - an Ancient Greek villager living an unassuming, simple life. This connection, she prayed, would keep Evgenis' moral compass and conscience strong. He would not end up like the others. No one could anticipate, though, just how powerful and disruptive this bond would grow to be. ------------------------------------------ "Set me as a seal upon your heart... for love is as strong as death." - Song of Solomon, 6:8 ------------------------------------------Complete
The Croatoan Calling
It started as a story. The kind you chase for headlines. The kind you don't expect to live. When a string of disappearances brings journalist-in-training Lyra to a quiet, off-the-map town, she thinks it's just another assignment. A historical rabbit hole. A forgotten legend. Then she meets him-Thane. Then she meets him-Keiran. And suddenly, the line between myth and memory starts to unravel. Secrets buried in blood. A name echoing through time: Croatoan. And a girl who was never just a girl. Lyra's not here to write the story. She is the story. If you're into cursed bloodlines, morally gray heirs, enemies who might be something more, and a mystery that spirals into something much bigger than anyone expected... Start reading here.Complete
Scales of Justice (gxg)
Since the death of both sets of her parents, Fynnith has lived far to the northwest, in the orcish fighting pits of Argul Kar after being taken as a prisoner when just a child. Having survived as the most feared fighter in the pits for over a dozen years, her mental health has increasingly deteriorated to the point where she is constantly hearing a voice in her head telling her to break out of the stone cell she sleeps in between fights, as she had a destiny to fulfill. After blacking out when the voice finally got too loud, she wakes up on a dirt road in a land she doesn't recognize. With an uncertain future, she looks to restart her life, not knowing that events beyond her knowledge have already started to move in ways that will force her to fight for things that the fighting pits never could have prepared her for. After all, a battle for love isn't always as direct as that with a sword. Or, maybe it is? TW: People will die, blood will spill, and there may be a little smut (if you're lucky!)Complete![Where the Roots Remember [WLW]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/333426146-256-k651283.jpg)
Where the Roots Remember [WLW]
Blamed for a lethal disease she did not cause, a reclusive necromancer sets out to cure the sickness and save a town before any more victims perish. *** Draped in a cloak of blood and deemed a wicked monster, Evylyn is an immortal necromancer, feared enough to silence any mention of her name. As the accused source of a deadly disease, paired with her infamy in necromancy, she avoids the town of Ensceas at all costs. But Evylyn's fate is decided by a coin toss, and she's forced to break free from her chains of destiny, nearly paying with her life. She's rewarded by a bounty hunter tracking her down, hungry to give her the sanguinary death she deserves. In her eleventh hour, a fellow demigoddess gives her two things: a second chance, and a way to weasel her way into the hearts of those that despise her. Simply, she must remedy the incurable disease that she allegedly caused, preferably before the entire town of Ensceas falls victim to its sickness. Thankfully, Evylyn's infamy didn't come from thin air, and if there's anyone that can rival death, it's her. ----- ❈ ----- INCLUDES: ❈ Sapphic demigoddesses ❈ Badass sunshine x soft-hearted grump ❈ Magical, mysterious malady ❈ Cute baby animals FEATURED ON: ❈ @highfantasy Featured High Fantasy Stories, @OpenNovellaContest's Longlist ❈ @Fantasy, @Romance, @highfantasy, @darkfantasy, @mythandlegend, @StoriesUndiscovered 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝘿𝙖𝙩𝙚: 02/01/2023 𝙀𝙣𝙙 𝘿𝙖𝙩𝙚: 4/17/2023 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙙 𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩: 28k 𝙂𝙚𝙣𝙧𝙚𝙨: High Fantasy, Romance, Adventure 𝘾𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧: @ZoeAlamort © 2023 [First Edition]Complete
