Helemoira has been High Priestess to the God of Death and Reclamation since she first came of age. In her ascension rite, she married a stand-in for her God, a half-fae half-vampire named Pelleas, who absolutely adores her. Up until recently, she has lived a calm life in her temple with her priestesses, tending to her God's Forest.

Geien, the God of Death and Reclamation, uninterested in life or anything outside his realm, finds Helemoira fascinating and unique, and simply can't stop watching her every move. When the other Gods try to stop him, he realizes that Helemoira is much more than a simple priestess to him. She is his obsession.

A God's Obsession: The Rebellious Priestess

I stood at the edge of Adhmad Dé as I felt the ground tremble beneath my feet. In the distance there was a great storm unlike anything I had ever seen and I prayed to all of the Gods that Helemoira was okay.


Not a moment later, I saw the flowers at my feet begin to wither and die. 


"No," I whispered as I took a step forward, past where the barrier should have kept me from entering.


I didn't think, didn't care that someone may see me; I simply began running towards the storm.


All around me, the flowers that had only just bloomed began to wilt and fall to the ground. I knew that this spelled trouble, but the only thought running through my head was that Helemoira had to be okay. No matter what, she had to be okay.


I ran for hours, never tiring. Or, if I was, I didn't notice. I only knew that I had to find Helemoira.


When I could no longer run, I walked, and when I could no longer walk, I rested at the base of a tree until I could move once more.
