🔞Death is only the Beginning

Summary

What if the love story that haunts you… wasn’t your own? Èmilia Reinhart has always felt like a stranger in her own skin—born into privilege in the 1950s, bound by expectation, fractured memories, and a quiet pull toward the moon. When a forgotten book resurfaces in her family’s estate, it doesn’t simply tell a story—it awakens one. A buried goddess. A forbidden romance written in blood and sacrifice. A myth that refuses to stay in the past. As visions of another life bleed into her waking world, Èmilia’s reality begins to unravel. Caught between who she has been and who she might become, she finds herself drawn back to Dawson—her childhood friend, her anchor, and the one man she was never meant to love. Their bond is dangerous, intimate, and impossible to deny. This is not an epic of quests and kingdoms—not yet. It is an intimate, open-door romantasy where romance comes first, myth lingers in the shadows, and every page burns with longing, betrayal, and fate. Slow to build. Impossible to forget. ✨ Slow-burn, explicit romance ✨ Childhood friends to lovers ✨ Stepbrother tension & second chances ✨ Dual timelines of myth and memory ✨ Love written in blood, sacrifice, and desire Death is only the beginning. But love? Love refuses to die.

Obsidian: He's hilarious. Like, actually. I loved it. You're writing style is great, although you could do with a few less murmurs and mutters. I know it sounds critical, but I have the same problem and I hate it. Overall, it was one of the best stories I've read on here so far. I liked it better than those M...
