Bride of the reaper

The door opened making the bell ring, Ashley turned her head to see the man in her dreams walk up to her in real life—wiping her eyes the words 'you don't belong here' rang in her mind. She definitely was still Dreaming cause "what the..." **** ***** *** **** ******** Ashley Moren is a stubborn, soft-hearted healer who believes her life will never stretch beyond her small, magic-hating town. That illusion shatters when a reaper from the Underrealm claims her as his bride and drags her into a world of ancient creatures, fractured prophecies, and restless souls. Ashley is alive. She is not supposed to be. Her existence disrupts the natural order, sending tremors through all seven realms. As secrets surface, Ashley learns she is meant to become the anchor that binds death, fate, and creation together. Accepting the role would preserve the realms… but it will cost her the life she loves and eventually, her mortality. Refusing the bond is no better. Without her, the balance will collapse, tearing the realms apart. Caught between sacrifice and survival, Ashley must decide whether to surrender to a destiny written long before her birth or defy fate itself — even if doing so means choosing how, and when, she dies. *********** ******* ****** If you can't handle slow burn romance this might not be your fort. both the ML and FL are oblivious of what it feels like to yearn for love so they're going to be figuring that out on the journey throughout the realms. But if you can welcome aboard sit tight and enjoy the flight ;)

Gods of Pangaeos

In the mist before GENESIS, Fate and Chance and Others cast tolls upon their names, while the chalice did burn and churn whose crown should be. And he that won strode through the mist unto YOD-VAV-HEH and cried: “Lo, wake upon the mist and create the heavens and the earth and make gods for me, for I have won over the crown and thy mist is mine to rule.” And so as the cry was heard Fate and Chance and Others bowed, But whether it was Fate or Chance or Another that won the cast of the tolls before GENESIS—none-knoweth. .............................................................. Welcome to Gods of Pangaeos. ​This work is a reimagining of the creation myth, written as a stylistic marriage between the liturgical structure of Genesis and the high-fantasy, rhythmic prose of Lord Dunsany’s The Gods of Pegāna. ​In this world, the Creator is a sleeper, and the world we know is merely a "Game" played by smaller, whimsical deities during His slumber. You will find echoes of our own earth’s deep past—Pangaea, Panthalassa, and Gondwana—woven into a tapestry of myth and "The Word." ​A Note on Style: The text uses archaic phrasing and repetitive structures to mimic ancient holy books. If the gods seem cruel or indifferent, remember: to them, we are but the pieces on a board. ​I hope you enjoy the "Game." ​Art Disclaimer ​Cover Illustration: "MANA-YOOD-SUSHAI" by Sidney Sime (1906). ​ ​Note on the Artwork: The illustration used for this cover is a masterpiece by Sidney Sime, originally created for Lord Dunsany’s The Gods of Pegāna. As this artwork was published over 100 years ago, it resides in the Public Domain. ​While the image originally depicted the deity Mana-Yood-Sushai, it has been chosen for this work to represent the Great Stillness of YOD-VAV-HEH. I use this art as a tribute to the golden age of mythic illustration that inspired the tone of Gods of Pangaeos.
