Kiss of Death: A sapphic Norse-inspired romantasy

By: Rachel Bowdler/Bryony Rosehurst

Maeve thought she would have more time... A seemingly unremarkable woman from the north of England struggling to make ends meet, she attends York’s Viking Festival every year to participate in a battle reenactment. But when she wakes up wounded and bloody in the middle of the empty battlefield, she finds the world to be a much darker place than she realised. Hel has many names. The Goddess of Death is just one of them. Cast out by Odin, her duty is to take souls back to her kingdom of Helheim, where they can live out their afterlife peacefully. But when she sets out to claim a shield-maiden, it quickly becomes clear that something is wrong. Jorvik has changed drastically since the last time she was here, and Maeve is no ordinary warrior. As the storm rages, they find themselves unable to get back to the gates of Hel and must question if the universe has other plans for them — plans that might have something to do with the volcanic eruption happening not far from Hel’s home. With the world crumbling and Maeve filled with grief, the strength of Maeve’s unclaimed spirit is dwindling quickly, but their relationship only develops as they battle through tempests and face the Norns, confronted by some harrowing truths and monsters along the way. Will the Fates allow them to reach Helheim in time, or will Hel lose the woman she is quickly falling in love with? Kiss of Death is a medium-heat paranormal fantasy romance novella featuring a bloody battle and reimagined Norse figures.

The Forgotten Flame

A kingdom on the edge of war. A girl marked by fire. A love that could destroy them both. Kaelara Veylin was never meant to wield magic.

Her abilities make her a target—hunted by the Iron Guard, sought after by those who would use her flame as a weapon. With war brewing and her power growing dangerously unstable, Kaelara finds herself torn between paths: A rebellion that sees her as their savior. A kingdom that would see her burned.

The Veil of Shadows

By: Rea Alexandris

A cursed flame. A seductive god. And a destiny that could destroy her—or make her divine. Kaelara Veylin was never meant to be a hero—or a weapon. But when a Veil-bound chalice fractures her magic, it awakens something ancient. Dangerous. All-consuming. A god of shadow. Possessive. Manipulative. Obsessively drawn to her. He doesn’t beg for her loyalty—he claims it. Body, power, soul. And those she loves? He sees them only as obstacles in his path to her. Because Kaelara is torn—between the one who anchored her, and the one who haunts her thoughts.

And as her fire begins to fracture—tinged now with shadows—so does the line between desire and ruin. Now the realms are crumbling. The gods are waking.
