“You looked like a fallen star the first time I saw you in your dreams, like you were made to burn across the night sky but had somehow landed on the ground.”
MY BABIES 😭🥹 I’m SO EXCITED to finally give you a glimpse of Callisto and Dante from my book DREAMS OF RUIN. And a huge thank you to the insanely talented
@marinevhs for bringing my wildest dreams to life with this piece! Like, I’m sorry, the yearning?! She captured them perfectly🤍
In case you didn’t know, you can now save DREAMS OF RUIN on Goodreads! There’s still much to come—preorders, cover reveal, ARCs, etc—but hopefully this little taste of my characters is enough to hold you over for a while. And if you haven’t had the chance to learn what this book is about yet, you can read the blurb below :)
TO HIM, SHE’S A DREAM. TO HER, HE’S A NIGHTMARE.
Callisto Bane has built her life on revenge. A cunning Shifter and rising force within the rebel ranks, she’s spent years clawing her way to the top with one singular purpose: make the Favored pay for every life they’ve left to rot by the Blight beyond their gleaming city gates.
For a decade, Dante Drakos has haunted the palace dungeons as the King’s Shadow, slipping into the minds of traitors and extracting secrets in the dark. Once a title of honor, his role has become a gilded prison, each passing year pulling him further from the light. The spreading Blight offers him one final chance at redemption. He believes the cure lies in the deadly Wildlands - but to find it, he’ll need to turn the crown’s most dangerous enemy into his greatest weapon.
By day, they are enemies bound by necessity. By night, Dante walks the fragile landscape of Callisto’s dreams, erasing memories he cannot afford her to carry. Yet her mind is unlike any he has ever entered: untamed, defiant… and achingly alive.
As tension ignites and loyalties fray, falling for each other could mean saving Wynthorne - or condemning it to ruin.
The first book in a thrilling new slow burn, enemies-to-lovers romantasy series with razor-sharp banter, political intrigue, and a romance steeped in yearning, perfect for fans of Spark of the Everflame and Quicksilver.
