The Wolf and the Crown of Blood
A rage-filled heroine faces off against a cursed prince in this gothic paranormal romance. Blood magic, betrayal, and enemies-to-lovers tension fuel their dangerous connection. Political intrigue and dark passion intertwine across the story.
Everything You Need to Know About The Wolf and the Crown of Blood
In Vartena, royal blood is the currency of peace. Every monarch is sacrificed and resurrected to appease the gods, and Bryony Devaliant was born to die, again and again. When rebellion stirs, the god-king sends his deadliest weapon to restore order: an immortal assassin known only as the Wolf. Evander has perfected killing over centuries, until his latest target becomes the one person he cannot destroy.
May pitches this as Beauty and the Beast meets Eros and Psyche, and the gothic fairytale bones show. A princess and a war-weary god meet in the ashes of a broken city, forge a pact in blood, and fall into a forbidden pull that threatens the boundary between gods and mortals.
Death and ritual sacrifice, resurrection, violence, blood, sexual content.
For readers who want their romantasy dark and gothic: enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, death pacts, and a villain-gets-the-girl arc. If ritual sacrifice and resurrection as a plot engine sounds grim rather than delicious, skip it. Check the spice guide before diving in; this one runs hot.
Book one of the Broken Accords series, published January 2026. First in a new dark romantasy series, so the wider story continues past this volume.
