"No God could ever wipe away the blood of thousands of lives. My hands are not just stained red—there is so much blood that my entire heart is pitch black. My ivory skin is a deception, because underneath the flesh that caused so much misery is a spirit tainted by murder and death. No God has such power to purify such a tarnished soul."

Grimalka by Emily Marie (me)
Legit got very little editing done today, but I did edit one of my favorite scenes, which consists of Calliope kicking Fallon where the sun don't shine and then Fallon subsequently rage-baiting her after she apologizes

Chapter Nine is honestly one of the hardest chapters to write due to how heavy it is. At least I get to edit Fallon and Calliope's first meeting after it, which is like a breath of fresh air after the absolute darkness of the previous chapter

Hello, angel of death.
This is not an angel of death that stares at me, dressed in pink finery. Yes, the title still holds true, but rather than masquerading as my true self, I hide my hideous truth under the guise of love and affection. Pink perfection masking the bloody, gruesome horrors beneath.
All right, who snuck into my google docs, cuz no way I wrote that

I'm going to try and average a chapter per day, and I have forty more chapters to edit, so, hypothetically, I should have it done a few weeks before Christmas

You know you're exhausted when you write "thuddering in my chest" instead of "thudding in my chest" but you also wanted to write "thunder" in the next sentence so you wrote "thuder"
I need to go to bed (I say as I continue to edit)

They say a father is a daughter's first love, but Bryony never knew her father. All she had was Fallon. So her big brother was her first love. I love writing families

Just finished editing an execution scene and now I think I need to go touch grass...because that was a little dark
At least Grimalka is living up to its genre. I was afraid it wasn't dark enough to be considered "dark fantasy" but I think it fits the bill save for the fact that my mc isn't morally gray

What do you think the age range is for this? (In your personal opinion)

M. wrote: "What do you think the age range is for this? (In your personal opinion)"It's kind of a tough question to answer, because everyone has different boundaries and standards for age ratings. If you primarily read clean, Christian fiction with little-to-no violence and very few trigger warnings, I'd def say 18+
However, if you read a lot of secular fiction and don't mind graphic violence, a few sexual references, a torture scene, and can handle lots of heavy themes, then I'd say 16/17+
So I'll go in the middle and say 17+. It's an NA so it is geared to the 18-30 age range
The only thing that will change content wise with the sequels is a few discussions of holy, marital intimacy, so fade to black will be one of the warnings as well
What book is this? When is it coming out?

It's a dark fantasy redemption story with a sub-plot of romance and political intrigue

Thank you for your response! The biggest concern for me is the romance. As long as there's no *ehem* scenes, I should be fine. <3

Man your writing knows how to chop up what’s left of my heart 💔 between your book, Keira’s, and black ice i think it’ll just about do me in
@Finch, agreed. Grimalka was even more devastating than THG, Black Ice is equally heartbreaking, and if I wasn't writing at work right now, I would be listening to Alex Warren and sobbing over this last chapter. 🫠
