I am no longer just her professor and she is more than just my student. We’ve crossed every line, broken every rule. But none of it matters now because all I care about is keeping her safe…even if it means becoming a man I don’t even recognize.

Deirdre: He saved me, but I don’t know how to save him from the rage burning in his eyes. He’s angry. Haunted. Ready to burn the world down to find the man who hurt me.

We’re thrilled to announce the audio release of The Curse of the Siren by S.E. Nielsen, narrated by Stefanie Kay!

The Curse of the Siren

Release Date: November 11, 2025

Genre: Dark Romantasy

Narrator: @stefaniekaysays

  • Dark, gritty fantasy
  • Fast pace
  • Love triangle
  • Meddling deities
  • Anti-hero FMC
  • One tent
  • She’s still learning her powers

There is but one lesson humans are slow to learn and quick to forget: the fae lie . . .

When half-fae Bronwyn is caught fleeing the scene of a robbery, a Crusader arrow finds its mark. But as her roguish partner-in-crime Eoin tends to her wounds, a spark between them replenishes Bronwyn’s magic—revealing her as part-Siren. And quite possibly cursed.

Meanwhile, word is spreading of the two thieves and the illegal magic they left behind them. To escape discovery, Bronwyn and Eoin accept a dangerous yet tempting job: a wedding heist that leads them into the depths of the fae realm.

But August, the merciless vampire lord of the Selene Court, is used to getting what—and who—he wants.

In a land of deception, seduction, and meddling gods, Bronwyn puts her life on the line, only to discover temptation may be her undoing. And time is running out for her to make a choice, before she’s stuck on the wrong side of a looming war.

The Curse of the Siren is a steamy, plot-driven romantasy with magic, political intrigue, and two tempting MMCs.

Now branded a traitor by both realms and haunted by the ghost of a love she never meant to destroy, Dahlia must outrun her hunters and the truth that could unravel two kingdoms.

To protect her family, she’ll make one final, desperate bargain. Even if it means surrendering her freedom once more.

King Neve has every reason to hate the woman who nearly cost him his life and crown. With his kingdom on the verge of civil war and vengeance burning through his veins, he should want her dead. But when fate entwines their paths once again, desire clashes with duty, and revenge becomes something dangerously close to redemption, he must make a choice that could destroy everything.

What happens when an imposter dares to tell the truth and a king finally lays down his sword? The cost may be their kingdoms… or their hearts.

Perfect for romantasy readers who enjoy fiery enemies to lovers romance, arranged marriage, learning to love yourself, epic fantasy adventure, sexy monster villains, slow burn with ALL the tension and angst, and mythical sidekicks.

Welcome to the tour for Court of Light and Dark by Heather D. Grace! If you sign up for the author’s newsletter you will be gifted with a digital edition of the prequel which is a full-length novel called Court of Treason and Fate!

Newsletter: https://blackleopardpublishing.eo.page/

Court of Light and Dark (Hidden Courts of the Fae #1)

Release Date: June 2025

Genre: Urban Fantasy Romance

– Reluctant Half-Fae Chosen One
– Slow-burn, Grumpy/sunshine Forbidden Romance
– Bonded Animal Companions
– Found Family
– Portal Urban Fantasy Romance

Half-fae, half-human—entirely unprepared to face the war my bloodline dragged me into.

The moment I touch the broken rescue stallion, scars thicken like armor across his back and wings begin to regrow. I’ve barely processed this when a gruff man with glowing eyes and a pulsing energy shows up on my ranch, claiming I’m half fae…and the key to saving three realms.

I refuse to let anyone else decide who I become, but that doesn’t stop my fae “guardian” from black mailing me to follow him to his realm, where small folk are vanishing, only to return stripped of their magic and dying slow, tortured deaths. And while my healing magic is stirring here, it’s barely enough to help with the demons hunting us, let alone save anyone.

As for my guardian? Seems like even being near me is painful, and I can’t tell if it’s from resisting the connection between us, or something darker. Especially when it feels like his blood commands mine… and my own might destroy him.

But distraction could cost us everything; if I fail the prophecy, demons will enslave the fae, destroy the human realm, and take the creature I care about most: my Leath Pegasus.

They say I’m the key to saving the realms, but as time runs out, I can’t help but wonder if anyone can stop what’s coming.

Fans of Anne Bishop’s Pillars of the World and Faith Hunters’ Jane Yellowrock Series will love this fast-pace, hidden magics, and forbidden love between a grumpy fae guardian and a sunshiny but reluctant chosen one.

He doesn’t just love, he claims and consumes….

They call me The Southern Poisoner—contract killer, legend, monster in a tailored suit.
I was supposed to be on vacation. Two years of blood and bodies had earned me that much.
Then I found her.
Chained. Feral. Spitting fire even as she begged for freedom.
I should’ve walked away. I’m not the hero.
But I set her free.
Now she haunts me. Fights me. Tempts the monster in me to play nice.
I thought I was the one in control.
I am The Southern Poisoner.
But somehow… I think I’m the one being poisoned.

*Although Venomous is focused on Venom & Ivy, it is still recommended to read The Bone Reaper first, where Venom is first introduced and plays an important role in Reaper & Charlotte’s story. In the author’s opinion, this will assist in having full context and a better experience when reading Venomous.*

Prince Ramiel Faundor is a bastard. His entire existence is the second best-kept secret in a kingdom built on blurred lines. But when his dragon-slaying brother dies in battle, Ramiel must stand in his place in the kingdom’s coronation duel. There’s just one problem: thanks to the king’s intimidation, no noble or soldier dares to train him.

Ether Malaphon is a cutthroat elven warrior. Her hatred for humanity is etched into her soul, second only to her resentment for the fairies who killed her parents. Her world unravels when she’s dragged from her village to be sacrificed to a long-dead monarch. But fate intervenes when a certain desperate prince strikes a bargain that might save her life. If he rescues her, she must agree to train him for his duel.

As time runs out and enemies close in, Ramiel and Ether must navigate dark curses, buried secrets, and a history determined to repeat itself. But in a kingdom shaped by betrayal, victory may come at the ultimate cost.
