Bloodlorn

TALES OF ORLÝNN

Double cross your heart or succumb to it . . .

'TALES' is a series of interconnected and inclusive fantasy stand-alone novels, inspired by folklore, classics and fairytales, set in the same world. Each book follows one couple, and their story will be resolved within that book, though there will be teases for the next couple.

As of now, the order would be:
1. Daphne x Deianira (Carmilla, Orpheus & Eurydice)
2. Elide x Aeson (Pride & Prejudice)
3. Yveline x Lonan (Romeo & Juliet, Dante's Inferno)
4. Elijah x Saoirse (Hades x Persephone, Beauty & the Beast)
5. Phoebe (Helen of Troy, Rumplestiltskin)

Carmilla meets The Serpent And The Wings of Night in this gothic love story.

BLOODLORN is a gothic romantasy with a Sapphic romance at its core, pitched as a love letter to mythology and folklore, in which the heroine wishes to prove herself worthy to the God of Light by slaying his nemesis, but finds unexpected love and freedom with the villainess instead.

BLURB:

Aeson, God of Light, is revered by humans and deities alike. His temples are a sanctuary for the desperate, though his benevolence always comes at a cost — of his choosing. Bound to the god as penance for her actions, Daphne finds herself withering in the shadow he casts. And when she begs Aeson to stop hiding their love affair, he assigns her a deadly quest to prove her worth: win Deianira’s twisted tournament, kill the Goddess of Darkness and earn back Aeson’s affection.

But entering Deianira's Reaping means giving herself over to her dark claim, and as it courses through Daphne's veins, it turns her heart into a traitor. No light-walking god should be made aware of the depth of her sins . . .

If she’s to survive, she’ll need to hone her soft nature into lethal poison.

And double cross her heart to keep her sanity.
