A Dance With Death

Finley Harlow knows what it's like to live life on other people's terms. Those of her family, of her boyfriend, of society as a whole... Granted, the decisions she'd made had always been her own, but her options had always been limited. And the choices had always been simple. Do as her grandmother tells her, or be cut off. Play house like a good little girlfriend, or not have a house to come home to at all. Take the easy road, or risk burning in the crash. Most of her life she spent drawing inside other people's lines, but when those lines start to unravel, Finley decides there is only one way to go: out. Sometimes, however, the only way towards freedom is through hell. And sometimes, that hell is run by a handsome but unpredictable god with a goal of his own... ********** N.B.: Greek gods & goddesses are part of this story, as are other supernatural beings, but my take on them is modern. This is not a Hades & Persephone retelling. Trigger Warnings will be added along the way.

ADWD - a/n & trigger warnings

Hi love,

Welcome to A Dance with Death!

ADWD is a little passion project of mine that I've decided to get back to after a few years of focusing on other stuff. I don't have a fixed publication schedule since I also study and work freelance, but I will be posting updates on the regular!

Greek gods and goddesses are part of of this story (as are other supernatural beings). However, my take on them is modern, and the setting is contemporary. This is not a Hades & Persephone retelling.

When I feel it's necessary to add Trigger Warnings I wil make a list here below. If you think I'm missing any, please let me know and I'll be happy to add them! Just a gentle reminder that this is a New Adult story. It will contain sexual content, a fair amount of swearing and some blasphemy & violence, so it is intended for an audience that is 18+. If that makes you uncomfortable, probably best to turn around now.

Anyways -- enjoy the story, and I hope you grow to love the characters as much as I do!

Cheers,

CARPEVINUM
