    About this ebook

    Uncover the Secrets of the Afterlife in "Kiss of Death"

    Maeve, a resilient woman from the north of England, thought she had time on her side—until she woke up wounded and alone in the midst of York's Viking Festival battleground. Little did she know, her fate was intricately woven with that of Hel, the enigmatic Goddess of Death.

    ️ Journey Beyond Realms:
    Hel, banished by Odin, embarks on a quest to claim the soul of a unique shield-maiden—Maeve. The once-familiar Jorvik transforms into a realm of chaos, with a volcanic eruption threatening Hel's domain. As storms rage and realities shift, Maeve and Hel find themselves entangled in a destiny beyond their control.

    Love in the Midst of Desolation:
    Amidst the crumbling world and Maeve's overwhelming grief, an unexpected bond blossoms. Their relationship deepens as they confront monstrous truths and battle through tempests. But with Maeve's unclaimed spirit fading, time becomes their greatest adversary.

    A Struggle Against Fate:
    As the duo faces the Norns and harrowing revelations, Maeve grapples with the acceptance of her impending demise. The journey to Helheim becomes a race against time, and the question looms: Will the fates permit their passage, or will Hel lose the woman fate has unexpectedly bound her to?

    "Kiss of Death" is a spellbinding tale of love, destiny, and the shadows that lurk beyond the mortal realm. Immerse yourself in a world where the boundaries between life and death blur, and where the kiss of death might just be the beginning of an extraordinary adventure.

    Are you ready to explore the realms beyond mortality? Dive into "Kiss of Death" and experience a love that defies the boundaries of life and death.
