A Sinister Dream
Damned to a glass prison, Xia has never known a life of freedom. The Gods of Olympia covet her Siren song and when she’s not dancing for them, she’s feeding The Lord of Nightmares her soul.

One Saccharine Dream (Of Gods and Monsters Book 2)
Publication Date: April 9, 2024
Genre: Dark Romance/ Dark Romantic Fantasy/ Greek Mythology
“I am the Father of Darkness, the Void Between the Stars, Creator of your Gods, and the Eater of Souls. I am Chaos, the Deathless God, and I will find you.”
Still reeling from his trauma in the Asylum, Brooks is hell-bent on saving the Siren who holds his heart. Fighting the Deathless God lurking under his skin is only part of the battle, though. When Brooks discovers the great cycle of chaos has been broken, he’s left near powerless and out of control.
After a deadly battle in Club Hel with the Lord of Nightmares, Xia realizes he’s no longer the most dangerous monster in the room. She must find a way to balance who she was with who she is becoming, but the path to righteousness is most often paid in blood and her Siren is ravenous for a taste.
Defiance was not obedience, and good girls were obedient.
Raised to be the perfect bride, Persephone lived a life of seclusion and proprietary under the watchful eye of her mother. After a string of handsome strangers claim more interest in her soul than her beauty, the Goddess of Spring finds the cost of disobedience is more than she can afford to pay.
When a scrappy thief with more secrets than truths proves to be the missing link between salvation and damnation, will they wake from a nightmare only to be caught in a saccharine dream?
This is a dark romantic fantasy intended for mature audiences. If you like the ruthless side of the Greek Gods, this series is for you. Please check the author’s website for CW’s and proceed with caution. You’ve been warned, Darling. Welcome to the Freakshow.

About the Author
“Wow! Dawn Darling? Are you a detective? Superhero? Burlesque star?!”
Erm, the answer is no. I am a super socially awkward weirdo who never wanted her small town to know what thoughts and characters lived in her head. (Spoiler alert, that cat was out of the bag when I stood in front of my classmates sophomore year and read an excerpt of New Moon for a project).
I’m a bipolar mom of two who is a professional at disassociating and building wild fantasies in my head while I do it. I say way too many curse words and start every day with six shots of blonde espresso over ice without fail. Don’t worry, I have ADHD too, so the caffeine makes me normal, not crazy eyed.
I grew up in a small town who encouraged women to become a nurse or a teacher and, while those are valiant careers full of men and women stronger than I’ll ever be, I was quick to say fuck that. When I was pushed to use my degree in creative writing to work at the local newspaper, can you guess what I said then? If your answer was fuck that, you were right.
I write adult fantasy/paranormal romance with dark themes (always check the TWs) and characters with as many personalities as me.
I live in the USA and my dream home state is Washington, but my husband refuses to move there because he says he’s afraid I’ll find a coven of vampires and run away with them. He’s probably right. So, I’ll settle for Alaska where the sun can only touch me for 6 months out of the year and I’ll have all the snow my heart could desire.
