After the death of her mother, Nory Blynwood feels adrift. Taking on her mother’s business as the only seamstress in the Snowlands is no easy feat. Saddled with unending work and living in a town crawling with dangerous men, Nory knows she has to keep her wits about her to survive.

Then one night she witnesses the death of one of her most powerful suitors, and everything changes.
Free from Lord Gunnar’s wandering eyes and hands, she realizes that for the first time, the women in the Snowlands might just have an opportunity to fight back. Nory is far from the only one living a harsh life. What if there was a chance for her to make a deal with the demon who saved her and ask for his help in sparing the other women? It is a risk, but one Nory is willing to take.
For centuries, Eryx has prowled the world alone at the mercy of his unending hunger for blood.

Against the odds, he has managed to outlive all the other revenants until only he remains. Now, as his undoing looms and death beckons, he is given one last gift. Nory—the human woman with red hair he saved—summons him and offers up a bargain. Help her slay the vile human men polluting her village, and she will give him the one thing he desires above blood: companionship.
One night together is all Eryx needs to know Nory is what he’s been waiting for. With his death looming, he will stop at nothing to gain more time with her—entering into his own bargain that seems impossible to fulfill.

As the days blur together, these two lonely souls find solace in each other. However, when enemies from both their worlds come knocking, will they be able to withstand the chaos? Or is their love destined to find its end in an unmarked grave?

This is a short and spicy monster romance novella about a human woman and a revenant who will stop at nothing to claim each other. For a full list of tropes and other information, please check the author’s website.
