Title: Married to the Grim Reaper
Genre: Dark Romance, Supernatural, Gothic Fantasy
Story Description:
When Elara Vexley is forced into a mysterious arranged marriage to settle her family's ancient blood-debt, she expects to be wed to a cruel nobleman or a forgotten warlord. Instead, she is bound in an unholy union to Death itself-Azrael, the immortal and enigmatic Grim Reaper.
Cold, ethereal, and cloaked in shadows, Azrael rules the space between life and the afterlife, untouched by emotion or time. He claims he does not love-he cannot. But Elara soon discovers that beneath his obsidian armor and hollow stare lies a tragic past and a soul weighed down by centuries of grief.
As their bond deepens, Elara must navigate the twisted politics of the underworld, evade vengeful spirits, and uncover secrets hidden in her own bloodline-secrets that may be the key to breaking Azrael's curse... or sealing her fate as the next Queen of the Dead.
In a world where love can mean damnation and devotion is both a weapon and a weakness, Elara must decide: will she run from the reaper-or dare to love him?

Death's Duty
(18+) *Complete/Unedited* ---- "You are death." I heard the grin in his tone. "Death's duty is to take care of the already departed. Newly deceased, and previously deceased alike." ***** Morrigan Wraith lives a double life; one not many would think to question. While on the outside she looks like a normal human detective, underneath all of that lies a grim reaper. Reapers were created at the beginning of time, formed to be unemotional and detached as a soul's transport to either Heaven or Hell. But Morrigan is unlike the rest. She was created with a defective heart - one that felt emotion, and one that got her into more trouble than she ever imagined. (18+ for language, violence, and sexual situations)Complete
Calliope
"It's my curse, and my duty. I have to do it, Azrael!" I cried out from the other side of the room, as the ground shook and cracks formed in the tiles. I was terrified. Terrified of what might happen to me, in the scenario that this fails. If I fail, I'd be haunted by her forever. I couldn't - wouldn't, let myself succumb to her. This was my fight. "Princess, I swear, if anything happens to you, I'll go crazy. Just stop!" Azrael shouted above all the noise. While I was lost in thought, everything had become more chaotic. The storm outside, the lightning and thunder that made me jump everytime it occured. All it took was one leap of faith. One risk to take, and I'd be rid of her forever. -------------------------- Calliope Solace - the princess nobody knew existed. Since birth and until the age of fourteen, her father, the emperor, kept her locked up in a palace in hopes nobody would find out about her existence, and most importantly, the threat her touch brought. One touch is all it took for a living being to wither and fall in the hands of death - one touch, more deadly than a hundred swords. Callie couldn't be more loving despite her deadly curse. She believed in the fairytales and the happily ever afters, which is why she didn't rebel or complain even after learning that, through marriage, she'd be shackled to the sadistic emperor who loved nothing more than to see people suffer; Azrael Ivanov. What she didn't know, was that Azrael had his own reasons to marry her, in the pursuit of vengeance and revenge to her father. [A/N] This is book 2, continuing in the same universe as 'Althea' my previous book. This is Callie's (Aias' sister's) book! However, it can be read as a standalone! All pictures belong to their respective owner, I only own the idea and the storyline etc!
