Death calls to Lovely, will he get to keep her?
Daughter of the Drowned is a dark and occult-filled dark romantasy and book one of The Darkness Duet. With childhood-friends-to-lovers, death as a love interest and love triangle tropes. It’s a portal fantasy, taking place in the decadent real-world streets of New Orleans and the fantasy location of the Underworld. Expect hauntings, a deeply flawed female protagonist, and a journey between worlds. If you loved Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo, especially Alex Stern but longed for more romance... this could be the book for you!
A broken young woman will stop at nothing to discover why she’s being haunted, even if that means storming the Underworld to face off with Death himself.
Twenty-one-year-old Lovely Timms hasn’t always been afflicted with otherworldly visions; in fact, it’s only these last four years that have been a haze of addiction and denial since she drowned.
Only when she’s visited by an apparition of her father does she finally begin to believe her hauntings are real. Desperate to discover why she is plagued by the dead, she travels to the occult-filled city of New Orleans with childhood best friend, Tino, by her side. Though, as her abilities grow, so does the icy herald of Death.
Death with a face, a name, and a delicious voice with which to beckon her.
Death calls to Lovely, will he get to keep her?
