Dark Romantasy || Character-Driven || Slow-burn tension || Found family || Shadow magic ||Epic stakes It all began with a lullaby. Something ancient answered, awakening a monstrous shadow that could either save the world... or destroy it. A young huntress named Lily has only ever wanted one simple thing: a normal life. A quiet home and a family of her own. But that dream of hers has always been out of reach. Hunted for a power she never asked for, she has spent her entire life running alongside with only family she had left, Samuel. Exhausted and desperate for rest, they finally find home among the misfits of Heliosa's Sun Peninsula Guild. There, she begins to believe she might finally have the life she has always longed for. Until her past catches up. A ruthless king from her history is determined to claim both her power and her heart, willing to destroy anyone who stands in his way. At the same time, the gentle fruit vendor from her childhood offers the calm and peace she has always craved. Yet the closer she reaches for that life, the more it slips through her fingers. Will she find the strength to rise above what hunts her, or the future she dreams of will remain forever out of reach? The veil is about to lift. And once it does, there is no going back. © 2025-2026 HR Tamba

ESCAPE THE ISLAND, BREAK THE CURSE. With the newly-added weight of an island across her shoulders, Queen Ilyana has never felt so lost. Shadows lurk in every corner and she cannot figure out who is friend or foe. One thing she knows for certain is that she needs to find a way to kill her sister before all hope of breaking the curse is lost forever. Morana the Cursed wants nothing more than to forever drift in the tides of the Molten Sea, but a claw of darkness tears her from her peace. It promises hope, warmth, and retribution for the magic that has taken everything she loves. But, most importantly, it vows to bring back her Fireborn from the dead. Accepting its treacherous deal, she plunges into a beguile of blight without protest. A second set of twins crawl out from their graves, hungry for vengeance, and they will do whatever it takes to get it. The Necromancer's Curse must come to an end before the Queendom of Wyrith is submerged in corpses. Which twin will die to set everyone free?
