ramblingmads

The lost city of Atlantis was cursed to the sky, and it falls upon one girl, with the help of an Atlantian refugee and a ragtag band of space pirates, to return the magical city to the ground.

Welcome to the tour for Atlantis by Amy Cip!

Atlantis Rising

Release Date: May 6, 2025

Genre: Sci-Fi Fantasy

The lost city of Atlantis was cursed to the sky, and it falls upon one girl, with the help of an Atlantian refugee and a ragtag band of space pirates, to return the magical city to the ground.

When an accident on the mainland leaves her parents dead and her sister in long term care, Ember Weathers is forced to drop out of school to run her parents’ bookstore in Devil’s Fork, Maine. Her only excitement is her pet dragon, who no one else can see. At least not until an attractive stranger named Shepherd walks in seeking her mother’s art. Before she can get any answers from him, hellhounds chase them to the relative safety of a woman named Maryse, who turns out to be no friend at all, but another seeker of Atlantis who will do anything to see the island returned.

They’re rescued by a band of space pirates led by Captain Hawkins who are ancestors of Atlantis that seek and protect survivors from the curse of the Atlantian King’s brother. Ember has a choice to stay with this band of survivors or pursue the return of Atlantis. In her quest, she’ll be forced to seek out Maryse, who holds her sister hostage, as well as discover the secrets of Shepherd’s past, including the dark magic allowing him to live hundreds of years. In the end, it’s Ember who must go alone if she’s to free her sister and return the island of magic and love to the world.

Fans of Holly Black, Rebecca Ross, Sarah J. Maas, Lauren Roberts, Kiera Cass, Tracy Wolff, and Jennifer L. Armentrout will enjoy Amy Cip.

Diffidence Obedience Atonement Smythe is a grad student who prefers to never use his full name. Ever. He’s finishing a Ph.D. in Extemporaneous Magic, and his research project for his dissertation is closing the Rift between worlds that he accidentally opened when he was thirteen. Obviously, caffeine is an important part of his life.

Ergi Thusol-Von Klempt is a half-orc who works in the infamous Goblin Market, selling magical pastries to those who need them – or, in Diff’s case, just want them. He’s got bubblegum-pink hair, lovely lilac skin, and a smile like sunshine, at least if you ask Diff. Ergi is intrigued by his frazzled, but handsome, frequent customer.

The Goblin Market is a magical space that anyone can find if they truly need it, and most people visit once or twice if at all. Diff is there several times a week as he untangles the layered mysteries of the Rift, and has had years to develop his crush on Ergi.

In this cozy urban fantasy, Diff and Ergi find some solutions to life’s problems in the Market, along with the courage to talk to each other.

Diff might even find a future beyond the Rift that has consumed over a decade of his life.

Jack

I’m a monster, a beast, a creature of shadow and legend, something children are warned about while they snuggle up by the cozy fire. I am cold, frigid, lifeless death. I’m Jack Frost.

Cursed to an eternity of wandering the woods, reaping the souls of worthless humans once every year, my existence is bathed in blood and isolation. Until her — my litill snær. Her presence in my woods brings light to the dead of Winter for the first time in a long time. But could she truly learn to love a beast?

Elisa

I hate Christmas. All these cheery, happy, nuclear families huddled around the fire make me nauseous. It’s a time to celebrate with the ones you love. But everyone I loved died, leaving me alone. Which is why I decided to travel this year for the holidays. I thought that getting away for a while might help bring some holiday cheer back into my life.

I’ve never been more wrong. Now I’m stranded half way around the world with a man I’ve never met, isolated in a snowed-in cabin. And there’s something out there, something lurking in the shadows of the woods, something watching me.

Frost is a dark Christmas story featuring a monster that falls for a mortal. While the story does end with a sweet HEA, the path there is bathed in blood. Proceed with caution.

Blog Tour: All the Dark Souls – A.M. Dunnewin

ramblingmads

We’re celebrating the release of All the Dark Souls by A.M. Dunnewin, the first book in a new COMPLETED trilogy!

All the Dark Souls (The Dark Souls Trilogy #1)

Release Date: November 11, 2025

Genre: Dark Gothic Romantasy

  • Strong FMC
  • Morally grey MMC
  • Found family
  • Slow burn
  • He falls first
  • Gothic romance

The first book in a new trilogy set in the same world as The Benighted Saga.

Joss Brevyn is the last heir in a long line of executioners. Although a woman, the same rules still apply: kill the condemned within three tries, or be tortured and killed. Joss has yet to miss her mark, and even though she spends her free time as a healer, the town views her only as a deathsman. So when she and her assistant, Henrik, stumble upon a beaten man on the way home, both are hesitant to reveal who they really are. The only problem is, so is he.

Aric Kayden has seen better days. After failing to assassinate his last victim, he’s left bleeding on the side of the road until he’s found and taken in by Joss and Henrik, two seemingly innocent locals. Healing from his wounds, Aric is still haunted by the target he didn’t kill, especially by those who paid him. Despite the undeniable attraction between him and Joss, Aric can’t bring himself to tell the truth: that the masked figures who hired him knows where he is, and his original target is the mysterious prisoner who was recently sentenced to death. Forced to uphold the deal, Aric’s only job now is to make sure the execution goes as planned and eliminate whoever intervenes.
Bound by their duties, both Joss and Aric assume this next kill will be easy. But then one of them has a change of heart, sparking a chain reaction that could leave one-or both-of them dead.

SAGE

I ran to disappear. Providence was supposed to be a quiet and untouched place. A fresh start. But then I met Reich Davidian.
Nothing escapes his gaze. Every word from his lips is a blade. And even as instinct begs me to turn away, something in me keeps finding its way back to him.

But I know that every storm hides a calm at its core. And I think I’ve found his.

The only question is if it will be the end of me.

REICH

I was made to destroy monsters. But she isn’t one of them. Instead, she’s the complication that could ruin everything.
Sage Holquinn is untamed, broken, and reckless enough to trespass on my property without realizing whose territory she’s stepped into. I should’ve turned her away. But distance is no longer an option.
She thinks she’s escaping the darkness.
She doesn’t realize she’s running straight into mine.

The dead don’t scare me.

But seeing my first love alive? That terrifies me.

The plan was simple. Kill Marco, rescue the Avids, and disappear with Malachi forever. Then Cade stepped back into my life and shattered everything I thought I knew.

He’s been part of Solace all along, working for the Syndicate, searching for me for years. But I’m not the girl he once loved. Marco’s pretty prison turned me into something darker, something that speaks to ghosts and has a hunger for revenge.

The Volkovs are planning something big, the Syndicate is crumbling from betrayal, and someone is playing both sides. With Aurora at my side and the Avids rising in rebellion, we have one chance to strike back.

Then a century-old secret surfaces that changes everything and has me questioning who to trust, what I’m fighting for, and who I even am. What if every choice brings me closer to becoming exactly what Marco wanted me to be—the demon they all fear?

Now I need help from the dead … before I end up joining them.
