Romantasy Debut!

Hi!

Thrilled to share my labor of love! Book 1 is complete, Book 2 is currently in progress. Both are free to read on Royal Road 🥂

What you can expect; a romantasy adventure featuring a sweet, underdog heroine pursued by two not-always-so-sweet men 🤭Tropes include slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers, reluctant-allies-to-loves, forced proximity, morally gray MMC, evil MMC, and (eventually) the classic touch-her-and-die.

What Burns Beneath

Brin wakes to fire and blood.

Fae monsters descend on her once-peaceful village, leaving her best friend at death’s door. All hope seems lost… until one of the monsters offers to save him.

For a price.

She accepts.

Now, whenever she falls asleep, Brin finds herself face to face with the Fae. With each dream, their time together transforms from a nightmare into something almost pleasant.

But Brin’s been told her entire life that Fae are bloodthirsty, cruel, and never to be trusted… no matter how charming this one seems.

She flees north, hoping to find aid from a sect of holy warriors. Along the way she meets Renner, a mercenary who agrees to act as guide and guard. He’s far from charming and the two find themselves constantly at odds, but he’s her best chance of making it to safety.

Their journey is fraught with danger. Otherworldly creatures prowl the wilderness, preying on mortals. Towns that should be safe are filled with humans in league with monsters.

And every night, the Fae waits in her dreams.
