Howdy all! My Romantasy novel is finally out! You can get it for free through Kindle Unlimited and check it out if you're interested - also, if you've got friends or significant others that like romance... well, if you send them my way, I wouldn't complain.
I've always loved writing romance, as I'm sure you guys can tell, but I keep everything very restrained in progression fantasy since romance is obviously not the main point of these novels. But, that said, in November, I went and wrote a full 100k word romantasy novel. If you like the relationship between Noah & Moxie in Runebound, you'll love it.
Here's a link to the novel & the blurb!
To be a Keeper was to dedicate one's life - and heart - to protecting another.
Jasmine wasn't ready for it. Less than a year into her training at Sanctuary, a college for Keepers and mages alike, and with a fresh start from a brutal life of thievery in the slums, all she wanted to do was continue mastering the sword arts and avoid her other responsibilities.
Those plans are ruined when she's assigned to be the protector of a young nobleman whose family was murdered. Her new charge is cocky, smug, and drives her up a wall at every opportunity. Forced to protect a man she can't stand with her life, Jasmine needs to find time that isn't there to continue her training and keep assassins from killing both of them, all the while learning magic and discovering that there's more to life than survival.
And yet, Jasmine starts to find herself inexplicably drawn to him. In the slums, Jasmine never had room to care about anything other than putting food on the table. But she's not in the slums anymore, and she can't keep her feelings tied down forever.
Unfortunately, burgeoning love is the least of Jasmine's problems. As pieces of a malevolent plot start to unfold around them, she and her charge realize that there might be only one thing left that they can rely on.
Keeper of Crimson Petals is the first book in a new series with a badass female lead, heartwarming romance, and cursed magic. It's a rivals to lovers novel perfect for fans of Scholomance and Fourth Wing.
If you like my brand of romance (largely wholesome/happy, with the stress being all the shit trying to kill the MCs) then you'll love this. The novel does NOT contain any harem, love triangles, stupid misunderstandings, or many of the other agonizing tropes that I personally can't stand.
That said, I should clarify that this is a ROMANTASY novel. It's got 2 short spicy scenes. If you hate that stuff, be aware it's there, even though I don't think it's too over the top and the majority of the novel is focused on other stuff.
Also, I am currently traveling and have absolutely no idea what time it is anywhere. The next Runebound Chapter will be out soon, and this'll be the last time I mention the Romantasy novel, so apologies for the non-book chapter. If Keeper hits top 1000 on the kindle store, I might have some bonus chapters for us ;)
