My project

Pitched as A FATE INKED IN BLOOD meets LAKESEDGE, is an atmospheric dark fantasy romance where in a world where sacrifices are made to ensure safety, the Skratti—a shadow-born, heart-devouring monster—spares her human sacrifice, a man who awakens her buried memories, and together they forge an uneasy alliance to confront the enemy clan that enslaved her sister, forcing her to choose between the seductive power of vengeance and the possibility of love.
