Xavier Sylberith needed to be the best in his class at Varenthell Academy. He needed to be the perfect son for his royal parents. He needed to make them proud. Then he died.

Awakening as a being unable to die, Xavier’s needs have shuffled around juuuuust a little bit.

Now Xavier needs to contain his new urges to hunt for fresh meat. He needs to wrestle control from the demon that killed him that now shares his body. He needs to placate his new companions who have killed many creatures like him in their lives.

Most of all, he needs to confront his repressed feelings about his gender, and the woman who showed him that people can change.

********************
Heartworm is a trans lesbian fantasy adventure that blends visceral tragedy with heartfelt comedy. There are many dark moments, and many more moments of levity between a dysfunctional group of adventurers that must learn to cooperate to survive... and maybe find some love along the way. Most of all, this story is about discovering one's identity. As someone who had many struggles towards self-discovery, I want to tell the story of how discovering one's identity can be the single hardest and most rewarding journey that someone undertakes. I hope you enjoy this story and the piece of myself that beats inside of it <3
