His freedom, however, comes with a terrible cost… A price that he might never be able to pay. Luckily, Lucian isn’t alone. In the company of a delusional goddess trapped in a mirror and a snarky peer with a passion for swords, Lucian embarks on a prophetic adventure to not only figure out the true identity of the evil entity inside him but also break the chains binding him once and for all.

We’re proud to present the cover for The Nymph King: A Dark Fantasy Romance of War, Fractured Magic, and a Fight for the Crown by Jacquelyn Gilmore!

Hunted and crowned in blood, the queen rises from the ashes of her ruin to become the monster they fear—and she’ll set the world on fire before she kneels.

When Imani returns to Essenheim, her kingdom is no longer hers—and barely recognizable.

Fractured magic hums through the air, unstable and alive. Fabric events tear open the sky, riots ignite across the territories, and mercenaries and covens scour the land for the missing heir—offering her head to the imposter king who now rules with unholy strength.

Tanyl—once Imani’s closest friend—has crowned himself savior and tyrant, purging dissent and binding witches to his cause under pain of death. Whispers coil through the streets that he is gathering magic wielders to forge a weapon powerful enough to rewrite the balance of the realm. And Kiran’s final warning—of the allies standing behind Tanyl’s throne—echoes in Imani’s mind like a curse she cannot outrun.

When wanted posters bearing her face appear across the kingdoms, and an unholy alliance between Essenheim and Niflheim moves to ensure her destruction, Imani’s last refuge vanishes. To reclaim her throne and save what remains of magic itself, she must defy exile and enter the most dangerous territory in the realm—the Draswood Forest.

There, in the seat of Vathis, the elusive High Sentinel of the Norn elves will decide her fate.

Crown her.
Condemn her.
Or force her to become something far worse than either.

Book Three of a dark fantasy romance series where power fractures kingdoms, loyalty becomes lethal, and the war for the crown finally turns personal. The Nymph King combines high-stakes political fantasy with emotional grit and atmospheric worldbuilding, perfect for fans of The Serpent and the Wings of Night, One Dark Window, Trial of the Sun Queen, The Shadows Between Us, From Blood and Ash, and A Dawn of Onyx.

As a necromancer, homicide Detective Ayameko “Meko” Shi is used to being unwanted, unloved and hated by all beings, especially vampires. Vampire King Nikolai is a centuries-old ruler whose name alone strikes fear in anyone around him. Ruthless and enigmatic, he’s used to solving problems with blood deaths. But lately, two things haunt him: the mysterious disappearance of his kind… and the necromancer he swore to kill but can’t seem to stay away from. When Nikolai offers Meko a deal she can’t refuse, she’s thrust into his world as his fiancée. Together, they must find the missing vampires in a city full of the dead.

On All Hallows Eve, the Red King and the Gray Queen will unite in matrimony, tying vampires and necromancers forever. Ayameko Shi never imagined she’d find herself in a situation like this. How could anyone anticipate her needs before she does? After a lifetime of loss and horror, she never thought she’d meet a man willing to protect her with his life, killing anyone who dares to stand in their way. Vampire King Nikolai is violent, bloodthirsty, and certifiable. Ayameko is his, she has been since the moment they met. But even the wedding of the undead can’t go smoothly

This haunting/erotic tale of power, obsession, and forbidden love will be brought to life through duet-style narration by Star Williams and Aquarian. A performance that promises to capture every ounce of tension, heat, and danger lurking within Hollow Ocean.

The storm could tear them apart.

While pirate ships and floating cities soar overhead, Amaya Sinclair’s feet are planted on the ground. But when a violent tragedy results in her abduction by a villainous Sky Lord, her once-clear path vanishes underfoot. In its place, she finds a beautiful, unforgiving world that challenges everything she believes about herself and her future.

William Lexington has spent over a decade carving out a space for himself among the clouds, at the cost of his identity and ideals. When a twist of fate lands Amaya on his airship, he writes her off as a pretty inconvenience—until he realizes she’s the only thing standing between his monstrous former mentor and a brutal new era.

Caught in a fight to live on their own terms, Amaya and Will’s growing connection calls every priority into question. As the enemy’s looming shadow darkens, their race to control forces best left untouched reveals that much more than their lives are at stake.

Welcome aboard the Maelstrom. Enjoy the view—and don’t get killed.

Cover Reveal: Red’s Hood – Esmerelda F.

ramblingmads

We’re thrilled to present the cover of Red’s Hood, an upcoming paranormal romance by Esmerelda F!

Red’s Hood

Expected Release Date: March 24, 2026

Genre: PNR/ Red Riding Hood Inspired

  • Forced proximity
  • One bed
  • Small town
  • Werewolves
  • Who did this to you?

What if instead of heeding the warnings, Red Riding Hood learned to run with the wolves?

RED’S HOOD is a modern-day paranormal romance inspired by Red Riding Hood. With its sizzling chemistry, playful banter, and gut-wrenching plot, you won’t want to miss it.

Hoping to provide a better life for her family, Roan Brown took a loan from the wrong crew. When they come to collect and she’s short, the thing she cares about most is taken as collateral. Desperate and willing to do whatever it takes to get it back, she turns to Obol Reed—the town’s newest resident.

Little does she know, he has an agenda of his own.

Obol Reed is traveling the country, on a mission to cut loose ends from his past. It’s no coincidence his journey includes only small-towns with one thing in common—werewolves. During his latest stop, rather than unearth the answers he seeks, he finds a new mystery in Roan Brown—beautiful, sassy, and in over her head.

To save Roan from herself, Obol will make a choice that’ll change their lives forever.

In a town where secrets have claws and ignorance is deadly, can a cynic who believes magic is “ridiculous” and an outcast with a dark secret—or two—trust each other enough to survive? As stakes rise, revelations will threaten to shatter everything they know about themselves.

Mia has always sensed something just out of reach, like a word on the tip of her tongue, or a dream forgotten too soon.

On her twenty-first birthday, she wakes with no memory of the night before. It isn’t the first time. Blackouts. Visions. A growing feeling that she doesn’t fully belong in the life she’s living. When her parents confess she’s adopted, with no record of where she came from, the unease sharpens into something else, a pull she can’t ignore.

Then she meets a stranger, and everything begins to unravel—a history Mia never knew, a city hidden from the world, and a journey that will take her beyond the world she thought she belonged to.

Eterna was once a place of wonder, a city that never stopped blooming. Now, the magic that sustained it is fading. The land is cracking. And Mia may be more entangled in its fate than anyone is prepared to admit.

With her best friend by her side, and resentment simmering among those she meets—especially a man whose bitterness runs deeper than she understands—Mia must now navigate a world that remembers her, even if she doesn’t remember it.

Some answers come looking for you.
Some places never let you go.
And some destinies are written long before you’re ready to claim them.
