What Darkness Brings

Genre: Epic Romantasy

  • Morally gray characters
  • Slow burn
  • Enemies to lovers
  • Forced proximity
  • Found family

The gods are dead. The stars have vanished. And the Order controls all magic.

Angharad Morgan has served them for as long as she can remember. She raises the recently dead to steal their secrets, a skill that has earned her a coveted place within the castle walls and the trust of the inner circle. Until she reveals a hidden power no one knew she had: she can kill by touch.

Now they see her as a threat.

To earn back their favor, Angharad travels to the windswept coast to hunt a dangerous exile, learn his secrets, and use her power against him. But he’s seen her in his dreams, and he’s been expecting her.
He takes her captive in his tower just as it comes under attack.

Bound by mysterious magic, they’re forced to work together against an unknown enemy, racing to find a relic that could heal the broken sky and awaken the dead gods.

She wants to trust him—and surrender to the irresistible pull between them—but believing him might be the most dangerous choice she can make.

Now the Order is coming for them both. Angharad must choose between the only world she’s ever known…and the man who makes her want to break it.

What Darkness Brings is the first book in a slow-burn, high-stakes romantasy duology that’s perfect for readers who crave morally gray characters and heroines forced to choose between loyalty and love.

ramblingmads

We’re celebrating the March release of Return of Atlantis by Amy Cip! Read on for more details!

Return of Atlantis (Atlantis Rising Book 2)

Release Date: March 3, 2026

Genre: Fantasy/ Space Pirates/ Dragons

Ember Weathers and her friends successfully returned the lost city of Atlantis to the ground after it was cursed to the sky – you’d think that meant their troubles were over.

While Atlantis is a city built on magic and love, not everyone was happy to see it returned. Immediately surrounded by enemies – both from this world and Atlantis – now is their time to fight for peace. That’s not as easy as it sounds. As soon as Atlantis falls from the sky, it’s people are cursed with a sleeping sickness. Queen Aura binds the gates closed with a magical ward, and they’re just as trapped as they were in the sky. In order to break the curse and broker peace, Ember and her boyfriend, Shepherd, will need more than the help of their friends. They must find old and trapped magical beings, and travel through time to unravel the problems from the beginning.

But will this help things, or will it trap them forever?

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

Alethea has never been free.

Born an Oracle with the power to speak the truth, she has spent her life in a gilded cage, her gift abused by her mother, the Queen of Lenorea, to maintain her rule and silence opposition. When Alethea speaks a prophecy that threatens the crown, she flees…

And falls right into the hands of Nakir Hasan, the cursed and exiled heir leading the rebellion against Lenorea’s throne. He takes her captive, expecting a loyal weapon of the crown, only to discover a young woman desperate to escape the very life she’s been forced to serve.

So they strike a bargain.

Alethea will help Nakir reclaim the crown, and in return, he’ll grant her the freedom she was never allowed.

But what begins as an alliance between enemies slowly becomes something far more dangerous. As war approaches and prophecy closes in, their unlikely pull to each other grows stronger, and soon, Alethea and Nakir are faced with a damning realization…

What if the greatest threat to the bargain they made isn’t the prophecy Alethea spoke… but the freedom she seeks, and what—or who—it will cost her to claim it?

Welcome to the ARC tour for The Keepers by Sarah Goehrke, an epic witchy fantasy coming early this summer!

The Keepers (The Turners Saga Book 1)

Expected Release Date: June 16, 2026

Genre: Epic Literary Fiction

Sanverra lies at the heart of the Cardinal Lands, dynamic realms ruled by lines of great queens. While magic is very real, witchery is challenged, for witches bow to no queen, they hold loyalty to no crown. The queens may accept advice or healing from their local Covens of the Grounded, but they and their subjects are well aware witches do not offer their services without a price.
​
Aleris, adopted into the ambitious Orcharder family as a second daughter, is raised to hide the magic she was born with—until she no longer can. When she finally embraces her own witchery, she changes more fates than her own.
​
Queen Daphne of Sanverra’s word on any matter is final—until she is nearly silenced forever. When she lives through her own death, she begins to understand how much she doesn’t know about the witches of her world.
​
Greater than any Coven of the Grounded, though, is the otherworldly Coven of the Keepers, whose magic turns the very Wheel of the Year. These witches take sacrificed moments from the world to do so, adhering to only one truth: The Wheel must turn.

San Francisco is cracked open by demon portals, but Sorrel Redwood has always known the dead don’t stay quiet. A commune-raised herb witch with a silver mane and lavender-tinted shades, Sorrel makes her living banishing spirits and brewing intention oils. What she really wants, though, is revenge—the kind that only comes when she finds the demons who tore her mother from the world.

But when a botched banishment binds her to Ranth, a centuries-old wizard with more scars than secrets, Sorrel’s witch-for-hire gig turns into a war. Demon hounds are hunting. An ancient cult is watching. And thanks to the curse laced through Ranth’s golden bracelet—now mirrored on Sorrel’s own wrist—if he dies, she dies.

With her Scooby-gang of experts, a grumpy cat named Antimony, and every herb in her belt, Sorrel will have to decide how much she’s willing to sacrifice. Because in San Francisco, even the city of fog can’t hide the truth: not all demons wear horns, and not all hearts stay human.

Leila’s and Tobias’s pulse-pounding journey continues in the steamy third installment of Jenna Moreci’s award-winning dark fantasy romance series, The Savior’s Series.

“Leila wasn’t solely The Savior. She could be a destroyer too.”

Leila and Tobias may have escaped the Sovereign’s Tournament, but their trials are far from over. The sovereign is waging war against the ally realms, determined to conquer all in his path. His first objective, however, is much closer to home—find Leila, The Savior of Thessen, and kill Her before She can thwart his plan.

Now Leila and Tobias are on the run, and since the realm is crawling with enemy soldiers, remaining unseen is nearly impossible. Familiar faces join them on their quest, but the condemned lovers struggle to stay optimistic, as Tobias’s inner demons fight their way to the surface and Leila’s magic takes on a mind of its own.

Certain of nothing but their love, The Savior and Her Champion must travel across foreign lands and battle unimaginable horrors to secure an army that can rival the sovereign’s. With death and betrayal lurking around every corner, will they survive to reclaim the realm, or will they perish beneath the sovereign’s powerful hand?

Blog Tour: Sycorax – Nydia Hetherington

ramblingmads

A captivating reimagining of the life lived by the powerful witch Sycorax before her banishment to the island in William Shakespeare’s The Tempest

Born of the sun and moon, shaped by fire and malady, comes a young woman whose story has never been told…

They call her Sycorax. Seer. Sage. Sorceress.

Outcast by society and all alone in the world, Sycorax must find a way to understand her true nature. But as her powers begin to grow, so too do the suspicions of the local townspeople. For knowledge can be dangerous, and a woman’s knowledge is the most dangerous of all…

With a great storm brewing on the horizon, Sycorax finds herself in increasing peril – but will her powers save her, or will they spell the end for them all? Find out in this gripping and vivid narrative exploration of one of literature’s most mysterious figures.

Originally from Leeds, Nydia Hetherington moved to London in her twenties to embark on an acting career. Later she moved to Paris where she studied at the Jacques Lecoq Theatre School before creating her own theatre company. When she returned to London, she completed a creative writing degree at Birkbeck and is the author of A Girl Made of Air.

My thoughts: Sycorax is only briefly mentioned in The Tempest, mother to Caliban, she could predict storms. From these tiny threads Nadia Hetherington has spun a magical, tragic tale of a woman outcast and alone, who only wants to help others, to belong.

Born to a mother who is of the Moon and a father who is of the Sun, the girl who would become Sycorax is afflicted with chronic pain, an illness she has inherited from her healer mother. She battles with her own body and with the scorn of the local townsfolk, who will buy her potions and curse her at the same time.

The pirate Barbarossa saves her, she warns him of a storm that lays waste to an approaching enemy army, but not his men, who he chooses not to send out following her words.

But before he can ensure her safety, she is preyed upon by a man beloved by the people but secretly cruel and manipulative.  She’s alone except for one elderly woman who tries to help her.

It’s a sad, lyrical and mystical story. The story of a young woman pushed away for being different, ill treated by the people who should have welcomed her, who should have been kinder. She could have helped them, been a useful member of their community. I really felt for her.

As someone who lives with chronic pain, it resonated with me, fighting your own body is horrible, it leaves you exhausted and frustrated, add that to being alone and rejected by your community, and it’s no wonder that she finds an isolated island a sanctuary. Long before Prospero arrives and enslaves her son.

ramblingmads

We’re proud to present the cover of Curse of the Tiger Prince by Heather D. Grace!

Curse of the Tiger Prince

Expected Release: April 2026

Genre: Spicy Urban Fantasy/ Interconnected Standalone

Her father chose her husband. Fate chose her mate.

Her arranged marriage coming soon, Aisling will soon be trapped in a life of velvet cages and polished lies. Then a thief crashes into her world—feral, infuriating, and impossible to forget.

Fin is a tiger by day. A man by night.

A cursed, bastard prince with blood on his hands and a heart that still knows how to protect. His crew is a found family, bonded from their years as orphaned magic kids. In a kingdom that hunts magic, him and his ominous visions are the only reasons they’re still breathing.

But Fin tells her a truth she’s not ready to believe.

Aisling is his Twin Flame. His fated mate. And their magic combined is the only thing strong enough to break his curse—and stop the dark, great animal threatening the kingdoms.

If Aisling runs from her father’s command, she’ll be handing her kingdom straight into Morrigan’s black magic and destruction, though the arranged marriage to her son may kill Aisling anyway.

But if she gives in to the bond burning between her and Fin…the very magic that should save him, may drain his life first.

Love was never part of the plan… Now it’s the most dangerous choice she can make.
