Coming Soon

A dark fantasy that will have you on the edge of your seat — available in Hardcover, Paperback, E-Book and Audiobook this coming October 2026.

Four gods. One girl. A kingdom about to burn.

Elysia has spent six months counting the days since her family was murdered. Beneath her skin burns a power that should not exist—four gods, one girl. Caught between duty and desire, she is torn between the life she was promised and the life she might burn down to claim.

When forbidden magic tears through the forest and exposes everything she is, Elysia understands survival requires a choice.

Elysia proves that the most dangerous thing in any kingdom: is a girl with nothing left to lose.

The Dawn We Sang Them Home is a haunting, atmospheric dark fantasy where hidden magic becomes a reckoning, and forbidden love becomes an act of defiance. This sweeping novel follows a princess transforming her loss into power.

With lush world-building and a complex magic system, this slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance delivers a heroine forged by grief into something completely unstoppable. It is a tale of betrayal, resurrection, and the kind of love that burns the world down—one that will haunt you long after the final page.

Perfect for fans of dark fantasy, gothic intrigue, forbidden relationships, enemies-to-lovers, and stories where power costs everything.
