The Hunger of the Moon
A Romantasy of Grief, Curses, and Consent
Vespera Duncairn keens for the dead for a living — and hides, every full moon, the thing she becomes: a ravenous shadow that feeds on her own light and memory. Theron Wren is the Binder assigned to stop her, bound by an order that calls her curse a profanity against the moon. Instead, moon after moon, he enters her mind through a consent-rite renewed each time — and finds not a monster, but a woman who was never allowed to grieve.

What the Light Takes
A Spellbinding Fantasy Romance of Shadow Magic, Forbidden Bonds, and Sacrifice
A shadow courier survives by one rule: deliver the message, never become part of the story. Wren has spent her life carrying secrets through a kingdom where light is controlled, dusk is precious, and magic always demands a price. Then a delivery goes wrong — a single message binds her fate to Kael, a man tied to an ancient power older than the kingdom itself. Their connection should not exist. It should be impossible. Yet with every passing day, the bond between them grows stronger. As political factions battle for control and long-buried truths threaten to unravel the realm, Wren and Kael discover they are standing at the center of a conspiracy centuries in the making — and to save the kingdom, they may have to break the oldest contract ever written. Filled with slow-burn romance, dangerous secrets, found family, court intrigue, and a breathtaking magical bond, What the Light Takes is a spellbinding romantasy about sacrifice, hope, and the courage to choose love when the world is determined to take it away.

The House of Lost Names
A Love Worth Losing Everything For
Lisina Vray has spent her career keeping other people’s memories in order — cataloging grief, filing testimony, deciding, with precise and merciless competence, what the law says a memory is worth. Then a single fragment crosses her desk: a stranger’s drowning memory, a voice she shouldn’t recognize, three words that don’t belong to any file she’s ever opened — I’m in time. The fragment binds itself to her before she understands what it costs. An involuntary, forbidden link opens between her and Cam, a fellow Keeper — sharing sensation, feeling, the small unguarded truths neither of them meant to give away. It isn’t supposed to be possible. It isn’t supposed to be legal. And it isn’t new: Cam has known about the bond for eleven years, and has spent every one of them making sure she never found out. As the Ministry moves to sever the link before it can be discovered, Lisina has to decide what she’s willing to risk for a truth she was never supposed to be trusted with: her career, her carefully controlled life, and a love that was never fully hers to refuse. A slow-burn, dual-POV romantasy for readers who want their forbidden bonds aching rather than easy, and their happy endings earned one imperfect, deliberate choice at a time.

The Weight of a Given Heart
A Forbidden Fantasy Romance of Glass, Magic, and the Hearts We Give Away
In Corvath, a glassmaker can seal a feeling into glass forever — sealed, but never returned to the one who gave it. Mirela Vane has spent her life on the right side of that rule. Anton Kessler needs her to break it: a vessel built to hold a whole heart, the kind that hasn’t been attempted safely in forty years. Every collector, arbiter, and creditor circling his debt wants the same forbidden thing he does. None of them care what it costs the two people who’d have to make it. A thief who has never been chosen. A woman who has never let herself be. A magic system with only one unbreakable rule — and a love story about to test it. The Weight of a Given Heart. Some things, once given, can’t be taken back. Some things have to be chosen instead.

The Vow of Salt and Iron
They Were Never Meant to Remember Each Other
In a city still picking up the pieces of a magical catastrophe it calls the Forgetting, memory itself is currency — grief pressed into pearls, joy sealed under glass, whole identities bought, sold, and sometimes stolen outright by the Guild that polices the trade. Mara Calvo knows the ledger better than anyone; she used to write its rules, and now works a back-room counter under a false name, quietly returning what she can to the people the system chewed up. Then a stranger walks into the shop wearing a Guild brand he doesn’t remember earning and nine days’ worth of amnesia standing in for a lifetime he can’t access. Elias Belani doesn’t know who he used to be — he only knows that something in this room recognizes him. What begins as a professional obligation becomes an entanglement neither of them chose: a monster drawn to the hole where Elias’s history should be, a citywide anniversary the Guild has circled twice on its calendar, and the growing, terrifying certainty that the two of them were built to answer each other. Somewhere in the city, an old and unfinished Vow is coming apart at the seams — and when it finishes dissolving, it will either answer every question they have, or take away the only thing either of them is certain is real: each other. A slow-burn dual-perspective fantasy romance for readers who love inventive magic systems, morally complicated heroines, amnesia-driven longing, and a found family worth burning the ledger for.

An Empire of Gods and Liars
A Dark, Slow-Burn Roman Romantasy of Stolen Gods and an Unbreakable Bond
Rome’s gods do not rule from a distance. They walk among mortals, feed on worship like currency, and judge the faithful from altars built with mortal hands. Livia Vaelora can see through every illusion a god wears — a gift that has kept her alive in a city with no mercy for the unclaimed. What no one knows is that her sight is failing, and as it fails, she is beginning to see the monstrous truth beneath every divine disguise in the empire. Varro Cassivar is the pantheon’s deadliest enforcer — and the one man ordered to kill her the moment her gift finishes its work. He never tells her that. She finds out anyway. Now, with her vision collapsing and a conspiracy unraveling around them both, Livia must decide whether to trust the man sworn to end her life — and Varro must decide whether Rome’s peace is worth the one truth he can no longer make himself unsee. A love written in stolen sight, stolen gods, and a debt neither of them agreed to pay.

The Echo of a God
A Romantasy of Forbidden Magic, Divine Bonds, and Sacrifice
She was born to hear magic. He was born from it. Neither was meant to survive. Kessa has spent her life listening to the hidden frequencies that bind the world together — and knows that some silences are meant to remain undisturbed. Then she enters a forbidden ruin and awakens something that should have died with the gods. Reson is not human; he is an ancient echo of a forgotten god, fading from existence after centuries trapped beyond the boundaries of the known world. He should be feared. He should be destroyed. Instead, he needs Kessa. A mysterious bond forms between them, linking their minds, their magic, and eventually their very survival, as Kessa uncovers the terrible truth the ruling Council has spent centuries trying to bury. Now the Inquisition is hunting them, the Council wants Reson captured, and something far older is beginning to awaken. Kessa must decide how much she is willing to sacrifice for a being she was never supposed to love — because saving a dying god may require the one thing she can never afford to lose: her voice, her magic, her ability to hear. In a world where silence can destroy and resonance can resurrect the dead, loving a god may be the most dangerous magic of all.

Shadows and Lanternlight
An Epic Slow-Burn Romantasy of Darkness, Devotion, and Hope
The valley has survived darkness before. It may not survive it again. Elara has spent years helping her village heal from losses no one speaks of aloud, but when signs of a forgotten terror begin to emerge from the shadows, the fragile peace of Oakhaven starts to unravel. Kaelen carries shadows of his own — marked by a haunted past and burdened by choices he can never undo, he has spent his life running from the darkness within. When fate forces his path to cross Elara’s, an impossible bond begins to form between them, weaving together shadow and light, grief and hope, destruction and healing. As an ancient hunger awakens and the balance between realms begins to fracture, Elara and Kaelen must journey beyond the safety of home to confront enemies, secrets, and the deepest fears hidden in their hearts.

Where the Storm Goes Silent
A Romantasy of Storms, Sirens, and the Truth He Almost Let Her Drown In
She reads the sea better than she reads people. He was trained to hunt the thing she loves most. Alethea Drake lost her hearing to a storm three years ago — and rebuilt herself into the best storm-tamer on the Reach anyway. She doesn’t need saving. She’s never once asked anyone to fight for her. Then Vorst’s Kraken Maw comes online, the Convergence Tides start their countdown, and the only person with the skill to help her stop it is Cassian Ward: exiled, morally compromised, and hunted by the same Compact that made him what he is. What he hasn’t told her yet: the storm that took her hearing didn’t choose her at random. He was there — and what happened that night wasn’t malice, it was the one act of conscience that cost her everything, before either of them knew the other existed. Forced into an uneasy alliance, two crews become one found family, and every current they raise together comes at a price that doesn’t reverse. Where the Storm Goes Silent is a slow-burn, forced-alliance romantasy with a Deaf heroine whose sign language is the story’s love language, a morally gray hero with real blood on his hands, a found family worth bleeding for, and an ending that refuses to undo what it costs.
