Never listen to the pleas of the dead.
Never betray the oaths made to the spirits.
Never make a deal with a Hag.
Never trust the Fae.
The Great Elm placed a task upon my soul which only death or triumph can release me from.
I am more than I thought myself to be but less than fate seems to believe I might be.
Hendrix Bane has marked me for death as surely as I have marked him as my enemy. I am trapped in the castle of my adversary and all that passed between us before this moment has been cast aside like ashes from a fire that burned too hot and too fast to bask in.
My sister is lost to me once more and doubts gnaw at my insides. All the things I never wanted myself to believe have forced themselves to the forefront of my mind. Did I even achieve anything in those trees? Or will the world rejoice at my success only to curse my name for their downfall in the end?
I have an impossible task to fulfil and my accomplice in it has nothing but hatred for me in his heart. So now I’m at the mercy of the man who helped me survive the curse of the forest. And his wrath is nothing short of sinful.
I only pray I don’t lose myself to the corruption which has taken hold of him. And I don’t know if I will escape him before I’m consumed by it too.
But maybe that’s what I’m hoping for.
*** Lightwing is a dark Romantasy from the bestselling authors of Zodiac Academy, Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti. It is a heady cocktail of Summoners, seduction and spirits, set to get your heart racing and feet kicking. There will be a ruinous, black hearted love interest, a rebellious, ruthless FMC, plot twists, cliff hangers, dark humour and a healthy seasoning of make-you-blush spice. It is not for the faint of heart. All those who enter the forest are bound by its terms – will you walk willingly into the dark? ***
The series
Every fifty years the forest awakens, calling challengers into its shadows to take part in the Great Hunt. To most, it is a deadly contest whispered about in fireside tales. To Ferris Creed, it is the only chance to reclaim the life stolen from her. She has no army, no noble blood, and no fae power to shield her. What she carries instead is a sharp mind, restless courage, and the will to outwit a world that thrives on cruelty.
Read full series description
The Hunt is not a game to be outpaced. Spirits stir in the hollows, old magic clings to scattered relics, and the forest itself shifts like a living labyrinth. At its heart stands Prince Bane, a figure woven of shadow and menace, leading the Hollows with ruthless precision. To face him is to risk not just death but the pull of something darker, a spark of temptation tangled with peril.
This series thrives on tension, walking the line between survival and surrender, betrayal and devotion, freedom and ruin. The world feels alive, filled with spirits that bargain, forests that devour, and alliances that can fracture with a single whispered vow. What begins as a fight for survival twists into a story of desire and defiance, where victory demands sacrifice and every heart is a weapon waiting to be turned.
The Crown of Hearts and Chaos is not a tale of gentle magic. It is raw, seductive, and treacherous, a romantasy where danger sharpens every moment and love may prove the most dangerous gamble of all.
