KETURAH AND LORD DEATH by Martine Leavitt

Martine Leavitt offers a spellbinding story, interweaving elements of classic fantasy and high romance in this National Book Award Finalist. Keturah follows a legendary hart into the king’s forest, where she becomes hopelessly lost. Her strength diminishes until, finally, she realizes that death is near. Little does she know that he is a young, handsome lord, melancholy and stern. Renowned for her storytelling, Keturah is able to charm Lord Death with a story and thereby gain a reprieve but only for twenty-four hours. She must find her one true love within that time or all is lost. Keturah searches desperately while the village prepares for an unexpected visit from the king, and Keturah is thrust into a prominent role as mysterious happenings alarm her friends and neighbors. Lord Death’s presence hovers over this all until Keturah confronts him one last time in the harrowing climax.

Hellsing manga, an illustration I used for my meta about fairytales and Star Wars. 
Conversation with lovely @fuck-yeah-monsters-and-villains reminded me of this drawing 🙂 

“They must live ever on in their immortal bodies under one frightening night after another in the world of darkness”

It gives me so many reylo feels!

This is perfect! Thank you @kittypeas , creator of beautiful art, sensual fan fiction and well-thought-out meta for tagging me.

_______________________________

Very romance driven YA fantasy book that features an Usurper as the male main protagonist and a heroine that comes close to the Holy Mother/Queen archetype as described by @ohtze in her fantastic Kill the King and take the Crown meta ( https://fuck-yeah-monsters-and-villains.tumblr.com/post/169112732992/kill-the-king-and-take-the-crown-kylo-ren-rey ) about the Reylo dynamic in TLJ.

The book itself is not my favourite as it’s a little bit too teen oriented (mostly character descriptions) for someone as ancient as myself. The premise is fantastic though and being a sucker for the good old girl going underground trope I still enjoyed it.

LEGEND (1985) by Ridley Scott

A dark, beautiful and very sensual fairy tale / fantasy movie. Loss of innocence, destruction, coming of age, seduction and love are the main themes. Visually stunning and full of mischievous fairies, beautiful unicorns and demons.

I remember watching this movie when I was a kid thinking that the dude had really ugly teeth. Yes, I’m talking about Tom Cruise.😂 On the other hand I really liked the red guy (Lord of Darkness) and I remember how bummed I was that it didn’t work out between him and the heroine. Actually I’m still bummed.
