LIMN: A Dark Modern Romantasy Retelling of the Myth of Eros & Psyche

By Madchen Angell

When hospice nurse Suki Ayres discovers that a few drops of "Fountain of Youth" water can bring the dying back, she unknowingly awakens an ancient curse, and the two gods who once loved and destroyed her.

Torn between Thane, the god of Death, and Archer, the god of Desire sent to hunt her, Suki must uncover the secret buried beneath her hospice before the world itself unravels.

LIMN is a dark, atmospheric romantasy, a modern retelling of Eros and Psyche set in the haunted marshes of Florida, where love is eternal, beauty is dangerous, and death is not the end.
A Dark Modern Romantasy Retelling of the Myth of Eros & Psyche

Hospice nurse Suki Ayres has always seen the shimmer-the silver light that surrounds the dying.

But when one of her patients revives after drinking from a roadside "Fountain of Youth," Suki learns the miracle water isn't blessed. It's cursed.

It flows from the River Lethe, where memories drown and souls forget how to die.

Then Death himself appears.

He calls himself Thane, and he remembers her from another lifetime.

Before Suki can decide whether she's losing her mind or her soul, she meets Archer Rose, a detective with sunlight in his veins, secrets in his smile, and a warmth she can't resist.

As a hurricane builds over the Gulf and the veil between worlds tears open, Suki is caught between two immortal forces:

The god who remembers her.
The god who was sent to destroy her.

When she discovers that Archer's mother is Aphrodite herself, and that her company is selling bottled Lethe water under the guise of eternal youth, Suki realizes her love story might also be the world's undoing.

From the Everglades to the underworld, LIMN unravels a myth as old as time in a modern world that's forgotten how to believe in gods...or in love.

Fans of Scarlett St. Clair, Olivie Blake, and Silvia Moreno-Garcia will fall for this hauntingly beautiful tale of doomed devotion, divine corruption, and a love that defies death...and finds its happily ever after.
