OF BONES AND BLOOMS
Drama. Fantasy. Romance.
with Mystery and Action
Uh, so, ... set in a vaguely 1780's (French Revolution-y) stacked/layered fantasy city, Ophelia works for the mob as a decomposer (cleaner) to the rich and powerful noble socialites, hiding everything from scandals to bodies.
Being from the lowest part of the city makes her even more unwelcome to some on the top layer, especially as talks of raiding parties and revolts are blooming.
She has powerful allies -- including the Matriarch to the most powerful mob as her adoptive family and the heirs of some of the most well-regarded families-- who back and support her, but Ophelia struggles to realize who is actually on her side, and who is just using her to gleam the secrets she knows.

Or, as I like to joke: "political bullshittery, women who kick ass, men who cry, historical dress and weapon rants, Edgar Allan Poe, and a grand ol'dollop of Jane Austen levels of t h i r s t."
We're currently on 'vacation' from the series right now, so it's great time to catch up on all the chapters before it resumes again. It's my first webnovel, so if you'll excuse some of the early clumsiness of us trying to figure it out, I think you'll enjoy it. My Co-Writer and I have certainly enjoyed writing it.
