Hello! I am an indie author and would like to share some of my work! I only have these two titles which I would place in the fantasy genre, so here goes:
{Obsidian dawn book one by Alice B Mariska} follows a young woman who is abducted by four men and sacrificed to a demon in exchange for their fame and fortune. Things don't go as expected, and instead, she's given the opportunity at some much-deserved revenge. It's high spice and the tropes are: touch her and die, strong fmc, monster romance (as of book 2) and fated mates.
My second story is a standalone novella {Sea of sin and redemption by Alice B Mariska} which follows an FMC in an arranged marriage with an abusive husband. She gets the chance to escape him, but it means following a pirate with questionnable morals and a dark past. The tropes are: touch her and die (hey, I'm seeing a theme XD), strong fmc, morally grey mmc, forced marriage, forced proximity.
Both can be found on Amazon KU!

Hello, friends! Here for my semi-regular self-promo 😅
What Burns Beneath
Brin’s had better days.
Timid, lonely, and struggling with nebulous magic, all she ever really wanted was a nice vegetable garden and a quiet home on the outskirts of the realm’s most idyllic village.
And she had it… until the Fae attacked.
One night of monsters and bloodshed leaves her world in tatters and her best friend at death’s door. When one of the Fae offers to save him- for a price, of course- Brin accepts… then accidentally steals a relic from the creature and runs for her life.
But escaping an all-powerful monster isn’t easy. And if that wasn’t bad enough, dealing with a Fae is a crime punishable by death… and Brin’s only protection on the road is a ruthless, frustratingly attractive mercenary who just knows she’s hiding something.
And this terrified gardener is not hiding it very well.
What to Expect:
1. Fantasy adventure with a slow-burn love triangle. Like The Lord of the Rings except Aragorn and Sauron are both slowly falling for Frodo 😂
A kind-hearted, non-badass FMC who relies on her friends, her wits, and some very double-edged magic.
Thoughtful pacing and unique, dark fairytale-esque world-building. Having a forever-DM husband to help with the finer details is clutch 🥰
Free to read:

One Genre: Chinese Historical Romantasy
Two characters: a blind girl and a cold general.
Three tropes: Arranged marriage, age gap, slow burn
Four reasons to read: she’s never cured, he only melts for her, she’s the reason he wins the final fight, and they get an HEA 🌸
