When power flows through your veins, the choice between light and darkness becomes inescapable.

For fifteen years, the Kingdom of Light has languished under the iron rule of the five lords of the Dark Empire. Seizing the land by force, they crushed kingdoms, shattered alliances, and bent all to their will. Yet hope had not been extinguished. Whispers still believed that the true heirs of the Kingdom of Light would one day return and reclaim what was stolen. But were these hopes anything more than the desperate dreams of those left behind?

Katherine grew up knowing danger as her constant companion. Her mother was taken from her at a young age, and from then on, her father taught her to fight, to survive, to shed blood when there was no other choice. Yet he kept from her the true reason her mother was murdered- and why they were forever forced to live in the shadows.

Meanwhile, Adrian, son of the ruler of the Kingdom of Dreams, lived his life in service to a father he believed in without question until he could no longer deny the truth. Realising the blood on his hands and the wrongs he had committed, Adrian turned against everything he once stood for, betraying the very man who had raised him. But betrayal comes at a price. And when Adrian's path crosses with Katherine's, the fate of more than just their lives will be decided.

The Gifts of Mortality - editing by eleanorkennedy14
31 parts Ongoing
**REVISING** The gods have no pity for humans and their impermanence. Why would they care for lives measured in years, when time marches into millennia for them? The immortals stay in their city. The humans remain in their parts of the world. That is until a human terrorist group gains control over the Goddess of Death, forcing her to kill their enemies and increase their power. All immortals keep their backs turned on humanity. Except Samil, the God of Festivals and the Arts. Samil knows he isn't very powerful among his kind. Or important. Or confident. Yet, when he learns that the humans are desperate, he chooses to do a deceptively simple thing: Help them. ___________________________________ @Voyageavecmoi was kind enough to write this review of my book and she described it 100x better than I ever could lol. With her permission, I'm posting it below. Also, check out her book "Flight Risk." It's a sweet and deep romance about two characters negotiating their feelings for each other while life is doing everything to tear them apart. The characters have such mature conversations and, there's no reliance on the miscommunication trope at all. I'm *obsessed.* If you enjoy intriguing fantasy novels with deep and thoughtful themes, check out 'The Gifts of Mortality' by @eleanorkennedy14 . It explores the concept of mortality and how it gives life meaning through the eyes of both gods and humans. The story follows Samil, the god of the Festivals and the Arts, who is shocked by the apathy of his fellow gods when a human terrorist group gains control over the Goddess of Death. Despite finding no support among his kind, he's determined to help the humans, which sets him down an interesting course. There are lots of great twists in this novel, and I also loved seeing how queerness was worked in throughout both the immortal and mortal realms. Samil is a sweet and refreshing character to root for who is determined to see the good in the world.
