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.

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!

The beautiful Russian movie “On Drakon” (He’s a Dragon) is a perfect monster love story.

In the midst of her wedding a princess is kidnapped by a dragon, taking her away to his castle on a far away island. Everything that is left is a stony imprisonment shared with a mystic creature and a mysterious young man. Who is he and how did he get to the island? The princess will uncover the secret, but it will be too late. Her love for him – the man who is a dragon – will turn into torture for both of them…

The Broken King

The Beast sat on his stone throne, his arms lashed to the corners of the room. His bones jutted out from his shoulders and lacerations tore through him, soaking his entire body in blood. Something had sliced open his chest, his ribs gone, showing the still beating heart that lay underneath.

Eris froze. This had to be a dream. The old man of the castle appeared behind the Beast, his moth-eaten black robes shaking with dust as he dragged his feet to the throne. He sank to his knees.

This is the future that I see, the old man said, his words more lucid than Eris had ever heard him speak. A king so blinded by vengeance that he does not see his inevitable failure.

Art from The Tempest and the Fire, my Beauty and the Beast retelling. This painting fought me every step of the way, and I’m so glad that I’ve managed to finish it.

Hope you all had a good December and have a happy new year!

Themes like abandonment, being a highly talented outsider and therefor being used and abused as well as the star-crossed lovers trope are interwoven in this heart-breaking story.

BRIGHT (Netflix 2017)

Thirsty for Orcs and Elves? That movie has lots!
Thanks to @ever-hungry-aria who brought it to my attention.

I’m not entirely uncritical of this movie but it features one of my all time favourite scenarios in the science fiction and fantasy genre: A society where different species live together.
