Realm of Smoke - A Dark Fae Romantasy of Forbidden Magic, a Rejected Mate, and the Magic That Could Unmake the World

Paranormal Romance — slow burn romance, happily ever after, swoony romance reads. A vampire romance of a one-night stand, a holiday homecoming, and the promise they couldn't keep. Thorn mage Ivy Thorne made a pact with a vampire prince in the dark—one night, no names, no strings. Now she's home for the winter solstice, and her one-night stand is standing in her father's foyer as her sister's betrothed. When a blood curse threatens to drain her sister's life, Ivy must forge an impossible alliance with the vampire who broke her heart, but their growing bond awakens the very magic that could kill her. The complication: Ivy's thorns are the only thing keeping her dying court alive, but every touch from the vampire prince burns through her defenses, and the more she trusts him, the faster her magic unravels. The impossible choice: sacrifice her sister to save her kingdom, or sacrifice herself to save them both. Tropes: one-night stand to enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, holiday homecoming, vampire-vs-thorn-mage, slow-burn forbidden romance, and a heroine who must choose between duty and desire. Series: This is book one of The Thornwood Courts. If you love steamy vampire romance with magical stakes, morally gray princes, and a winter solstice backdrop, pre-order Book 2: A Court of Frost and Ember. A thorn mage bound to a dying court must marry her family's sworn rival to save her sister, but their growing alliance threatens the very magic that keeps her alive. A paranormal romance for readers who love slow burn romance and happily ever after. Swoony romance reads — readable, propulsive, and hard to put down. Perfect for readers who love **Harley Laroux** and **Liv Zander**.
