Howdy! I'm J.C. Murphey, lover of romance but writer of dystopian fiction. Collectively, I have been writing for 20 years and stockpiling all sorts of cringe-worthy projects that I am slowly dragging back out into the light of day. I live in Texas with my husband, daughter, two cats and a dog. So while I seem heartless ruthlessly torturing my poor characters, I assure you I do have some semblance of a heart somewhere. Follow me on Facebook (J.C. Murphey) Instagram (@j.c.murphey) and TikTok (@j_c_murphey) to keep up with my latest projects or general antics. See you soon!

***Purchase e-book and physical copies directly from the author at www.authorjcmurphey.com*** "Life sucks, then you die." At least, that's what Victor Rexford thought would happen after sacrificing his life to join the fight between the demon Azazel and the Angel of Death Azrael--Noira, as she is known by those closest to her. A sacrifice that ends with a soul barely held together with magic and a prayer, and a head full of doubt that he is good enough to be Noira's chosen consort. What kind of evil can find its way through the cracks still left in Victor's self-worth? "I cannot let him go." Noira has her fair share of problems to deal with after wiping out and resurrecting all of humanity. The greatest of those problems is the horde of demons Azazel brought with him from Hell that cannot be allowed to go back. In a desperate act, Noira absorbs the horde--and all of their contamination--into her own body to trap as prisoners. Now, she can't connect with her new consort Victor, or anyone else for that matter, or risk letting the horde cross over to a new host. Will the Angel of Death be able to contain the horde of demons long enough to find a permanent host? Who will she doom to keep the mortal world safe? Trigger warnings: contains gory and violent scenes, explicit sex, profanity, and depression

The Story: In a world where magic pulses through veins like blood, power is measured by the secrets one keeps—and Haron Val Toric has many to hide. In the kingdom of Respar, the rules are clear: male spellcasters build and protect, while women heal and nurture. Yet Haron, the realm's most skilled necromancer, has never been one to conform. When a noblewoman is discovered gruesomely murdered, Haron takes it upon herself to investigate, uncovering a conspiracy that threatens to tear Respar’s fragile peace apart. Each revelation from the dead drags her deeper into a tangled web of long-buried secrets—secrets better left untouched. Crown Prince Irin Gailish enlists Haron’s formidable powers to solve the mysterious death of his father. Captivated by her sharp intellect and her refusal to bow to courtly pretensions, Irin finds himself torn between his duty to the kingdom and an attraction that could bring ruin. As their fates intertwine, so do the dark schemes of those who wish to see them both undone. But Haron's greatest deception is the one hidden beneath her careful exterior. She is far more than she appears—more dangerous, more powerful, and more hunted. May the Old Gods have mercy on any soul who rips away her mask, for there are fangs hidden beneath it. Content info: open door romance, gory fight scenes, profanity, alcohol consumption, corpse resurrections, and a sassy bisexual FMC who doesn't play by strict gender roles and actively rebels against the patriarchy (not a content warning, we need more of those)
