Her life.
Her blood.
Her bones.
Alexa Magnuson lived ten years of her life in near isolation after her father's death. Her only aim in life is to avenge his death.
Somehow Alexa finds herself in the middle of a missionary group that calls themselves the Bearers who claim that their purpose of life is to maintain peace between the worlds of the living and the dead. They are sole heirs to a world of manipulating the elements of the earth, what they called Bearing.
The only thing that tips her over is discovering her father's involvement with them and the need to learn more. Whats more, the balances have been disturbed, between both, that worlds and the houses of the Bearers and a war is brewing, surrounding her with sinister magic, choices and betrayal.
The fate of both worlds now rest on her shoulders but everything comes with a price. What if the price for ending this war is nothing but her life, her bones?

The Atonement of a Writer
Lilianne Marineau, aka Lili, a struggling writer like you and me, wakes up to find herself in the body of Arielle Dumont, the female protagonist in her own, half-written novel. What would happen next? She sure as hell doesn't know. At first, all Lili wants to do is survive, and is overcome with the feeling that she had been bound by chains of her own making. Soon enough, though, she realizes she had been atoning for the wrong thing--and maybe, just maybe it was not her fault. A story of a writer who has to live as a character in a world she hasn't quite fully developed yet. A terrible writer with terrible concepts of magic in a fantasy world--and yes, there are glitches. TW: anxiety/depression/existential crisis esp in the earlier chapters, but quite mild, nothing we all haven't experienced before (I think anyone would reasonably panic in MC's situation). Still overall fairly lightheartedComplete
