In the mood for a 'well that escalalted quickly' dark fantasy? Look no further. Bi disaster, Gideon, got you.

What Doesn't Kill You is a companion novella to Bring Her Home and focuses on Gideon, whose life isn't quite taking the turn he expected it to take.

Cyra, an elf with zero chill: What if I ignore all my problems until they become catastrophic?
Ezren, the golden retriever thembo: What if we kissed? Haha, just kidding... unless?
Laeroth, the emotionally constipated elf: What if I begrudgingly tolerate this and secretly care too much?

The past is gone, but its ghosts still haunt her every step.

😭😭😭

Dawn of the Obsidian Sun is for romantic dark fantasy readers who want NB, queer, and marginalized rep and also like:

🌙 plot and spice
🌙 traumatized characters
🌙 hella angst
🌙 shadow magic
🌙 world building

Proceed with caution, adventurer. Or, y’know... just let the chaos consume you.

Dawn of the Obsidian Sun — where your death is imminent, but at least the romance is hot.

Me, writing this book: What if trauma, but make it ✨romantic✨?
📢 Cyra, the FMC: What if I just run away from my problems?
📢 Her fated mates: What if we chased after you and made things worse?
📢 The relic: What if you simply ✨did not die✨?

💀 Cyra: I don’t do feelings.
💀 Ezren: I have so many feelings, actually.
💀 Laeroth: I have one feeling, and it’s irritation.
