$7.99
A gothic horror novella about an assassin and a grieving necromancer whose attempt to defeat death becomes an unexpectedly intimate struggle against loneliness, loss, and forbidden desire.
Description
In a village crumbling beneath the weight of ghosts and grief, an assassin arrives with a simple mission: kill the necromancer responsible for stealing the bodies of young women. What she finds instead is a woman consumed by grief and determined to bring her dead lover back to life.
Isolde’s experiments have failed three times. Her fourth attempt will require an entirely different kind of sacrifice, and the assassin soon finds herself drawn into something far more dangerous than the mission she was sent to complete.
As the boundaries between death, desire, and devotion begin to blur, the two women must confront what they are willing to risk to defy death and escape their own loneliness.
So Beats a Hollow Heart is a dark, atmospheric tale of necromancy, grief, obsession, and sapphic desire, with a decidedly gothic edge. The novella won the Cover Story Writing Contest hosted by Nicole Frail Books, LLC.
