Monsters Below
With forces I don't understand out to hurt my monsters and I, time is running out to figure out who–no, what–I am.
The weight of the world suddenly crashes on my shoulders, and I’m not sure how long I can carry it. I’m not like the heroes I’ve read about in books—I’ve just barely started understanding my powers, how am I going to save anyone?
Could the Fates have screwed up, putting me on this path?
When bodies begin to drop, it’s crystal clear: time is up.
Do I tuck tail and hide with my monsters, or do I stand tall and fight for the first place I’ve ever felt like I could call home?

R.L. Caulder
In the shifting shadows of fantasy and paranormal romance, R.L. Caulder has made a quiet kind of noise—one that echoes through darkened corridors, forgotten realms, and the haunted corners of the heart. Her stories aren't just read—they’re experienced, like stepping into a dream where the monsters are beautiful, and the heroes are broken in all the right ways.
Caulder began her journey not with a publishing deal or a polished plan, but with a question: What if the villain wasn’t the villain at all? From that seed grew a library of richly imagined series like Blood Oath, The Monsters We Crave, and The Wicked Monsters—books that blur the line between danger and desire. Her characters wrestle with power, pain, and passion, often in worlds teetering on the edge of ruin. But for all their fangs and fury, it’s the emotional undercurrents—the betrayals, the longing, the bonds forged in fire—that leave a lasting mark.
