Epic/Dark Fantasy || Romantasy || Character-Driven || Adventure || Slow-Burn || Magic & Mystery It began with a lullaby sung to the moon. From that night on, Lily was never meant to be ordinary. There is something in her blood that answers to anger. Something that rises when she is cornered: red-eyed, relentless, and feared. She has spent her life holding it back, terrified that one day she will lose control and destroy the people she loves. When war erupts between the Kingdoms of Heliosa and Thessarion, Lily is dragged into enemy hands and comes face-to-face with the one man she never expected to see again-King Leorien. The boy she once happened save from the dark is now a ruler forged in fire... and the same flame that once shattered her life. But the deeper Lily is drawn into palace intrigue and buried secrets, the more the truth claws its way to the surface. Her power is not a curse born of rage. And it has been waiting. Caught between two forces: King Leorien, the fire that burns too close, his devotion as dangerous as his crown... and Juliene, the fruit vendor who became her quiet constant, the one who calms her storms and reminds her who she is. And Lily must decide what she will become: A weapon the world fears. Or the savior it never saw coming. Featuring: ✔ hidden power, old secrets, and consequences that surface slowly ✔ late medieval worldbuilding aesthetics with magics, mythical creatures, and old traditions ✔ adventure and dangerous guild contracts ✔ guild life, camaraderie, and clashing personalities ✔ slow-burn romance and yearning tangled with past connections and unresolved feelings ✔ found family forged through loyalty, trust, and shared battles ✔ politics and power struggles between kingdoms, guilds, and crowns ✔ emotional, character-driven moments that linger long after the chapter ends © 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?
