Between Life and Death: A Vampire's Kiss
In a world where death is both enemy and companion, Lilith has been dying her entire life. From her first breath-a moment of silence that terrified her father-to the mysterious illness slowly consuming her body, mortality has been her constant shadow. But it's not just Lilith who's dying. The entire town of Adcova withers under a divine curse, punishment from the God of Abundance after Lilith's father dared curse him following a devastating frost. For fifteen years, this plague has turned skin to dust, stolen breath from lungs, and drained blood from veins-a slow, merciless execution of an entire community. What makes Lilith extraordinary isn't her impending death-it's how she faces it. Rather than surrendering to self-pity, she transforms her limited time into purpose, becoming a healer who works tirelessly to develop remedies that might slow the inevitable. Her workspace is meticulously organized so others can continue her work after she's gone. In her mostly barren greenhouse, only one patch flourishes-strange black roses outlined in red, defying the death that surrounds them. When her beloved sister Mina begins showing symptoms-flesh-colored dust settling around her-Lilith makes a desperate choice. Unable to express her love directly or reveal her true intentions, she simply promises to return soon from her "errands." This emotional wall she's built-this inability to embrace her sister for fear such tenderness might prevent her from leaving-reveals how thoroughly she's subordinated emotional connection to practical action.
