What the Dark Remembers

What the Dark Remembers: Some covenants were broken before you were born. (Queer Vampire Court Duology, Book 1 2) They haven't spoken in sixty years. They are about to descend through a door together that no one has opened in four centuries. And whatever is waiting on the other side already knows both their names. Sixty years ago, Evren Sable did one thing he could not undo. He reported a woman he trusted to an apparatus he did not understand, and by the time he knew what had been done with his words, it was too late to take them back. So he left. He made himself small. He carried the guilt and the object and the specific grief of someone who did the first significant wrong thing of their adult existence — and has been arranging their life around not doing it again ever since. Zephyr Cayne has been waiting three hundred years for a door to open. She is the last of her kind — a Threshold Keeper, a door-warden, older than the court and quieter than the dark. She has been a messenger, a watcher, a woman whose entire existence has been organised around a purpose she has almost completed. She never expected the final stage to require him. Now the covenant is breaking. Something old and patient stirs beneath Nocturne Veil — not a threat, but a presence that has been alone for four centuries and recognises, finally, the people it has been waiting for. The founding design is within reach of restoration. The antagonist is closing in. And Zephyr and Evren are carrying the same sixty-year story between them, in two versions, and neither version has ever been told out loud. The fury has not gone anywhere. Neither has everything underneath it. What the Dark Remembers is the conclusion to the Queer Vampire Court Duology — a slow-burn, high-tension dark gothic romance set in a vampire court in the early stages of becoming something it has never been before. This book delivers enemies-to-lovers with sixty years of earned history, a found family of competent adults who love each other without making a fuss about it, a genuinely ancient mystery with emotional weight, and a guaranteed HEA. The romance reads as queer women. The spice is slow, deliberate, and hits harder for everything that came before it. The ending is earned.

The Ghost-Bound Investigator

“He cannot stray more than forty feet from the ghost bound to his soul. She is the only one who treats them as two separate hearts.” The inn does not sleep. And neither does the man sent to destroy it. When a fourth body is found in the fog-drenched streets of Tidewatch, the Spirit Board assigns a disgraced investigator to prove what they already suspect: That the Tidewatch Inn is the source of the city’s unrest among the dead. Caelum Voss-Dray has built his career on impossible cases. He has also spent two years bound to a ghost. Mira—his former partner—died in the line of duty. Now she shares his body in moments of stress, breathes silver through his lungs in cold air, and cannot stray more than forty feet from him. Together they solve crimes. Together they haunt each other. Rosalind Ash, the inn’s night-manager, refuses to be intimidated. At thirty-four, she runs the Tidewatch Inn with steady hands, flour-dusted sleeves, and a heart large enough to hold both the living and the dead. She is the only person in the city who looks at Caelum and Mira—and sees two people. When ghost-echoes from murdered victims begin appearing inside the inn’s walls, the evidence points straight at Rosalind’s home. Someone is planting death magic to fracture the ancient pact that keeps the city’s ghosts free. If the pact falls, whoever controls the registry controls the dead. Forced into an uneasy alliance, Rosalind and Caelum must untangle: ⚰️ A string of impossible murders seeded through death-magic deception 👻 A ghost-binding that blurs the line between body and soul 📜 A Spirit Board conspiracy centuries in the making 🖤 A slow-burn attraction built on competence, defiance, and dangerous trust But as the case closes in, Caelum faces a choice: reclaim his position within the Spirit Court… or anchor himself to the one place—and the one woman—that sees him clearly. And Rosalind must decide whether she can allow someone to stay. The dead are watching. The pact is fracturing. And love, in Tidewatch, is never simple. ⭐ Perfect for Readers Who Love: * Dark gothic fantasy romance * Necromancy through a Brontë-esque lens * Grumpy investigator / warm, competent heroine * 30+ protagonists with emotional depth * Body-sharing intimacy & ghost-bound tension * Morally grey but not cruel heroes * Found family with sharp edges and real loyalty * Plot-driven spice (no filler, all feeling) * Cozy-dark haunted inns and fog-soaked port cities 🖤 Series Note Each book in the **Tidewatch Inn Series** follows a different couple and romance while building toward a shared mystery and an emotionally satisfying HEA.

Blood Oath Betrayal

The blood-feast had been going for three hours, and I hadn't eaten anything. That's how it works when you're half-breed in the High Court of Nocturne Veil. No plate. No chair. Just a place against the wall and the particular skill of making yourself invisible in a room full of immortal predators. I was good at invisible. I'd been practicing for twenty-eight years. Then Kain Draven looked at me. Not the polite non-recognition that pure-bloods used for people like me. Not the sharper version — the dismissal that bothers to look before it dismisses. He looked at me the way he looked at things that mattered, and I'd spent four years in this court making sure I wasn't one of those things. That was before the crystal cracked. Before the bodies. Before the Crown Prince of the ruling house cornered me in a side gallery and offered me a deal I had every reason to refuse. A blood-oath arrangement. Six months, publicly formalised. You attend court as my intended. I attend whatever you require. At the end — a clean dissolution. No obligations remaining. I said no. He said: "You've been invisible so long you've decided it's protection. It isn't. It just means no one can help you when it matters." He was right. I knew he was right. I agreed anyway — because the alternative was worse, and because Lord Cassius Sable had been watching the crystal with those silver-green eyes for months, and I was running out of time to prove what I suspected. The arrangement was supposed to be political. A shield for him, a cover for me, six months and then done. Except the oath mark on my wrist wouldn't stay silver. It kept going gold. Kain Draven is the most feared man in Nocturne Veil. Three centuries of managing a fractious court, a line of dissolved betrothals he's never explained, and a composure so complete that the first time it broke in front of me, I didn't know what I was looking at. I know now. It was the face he has when something matters more than the performance. The Veilheart — the crystal that keeps us all alive — is being drained by something ancient and deliberate, and I am the only person in this court who can read what no instrument can detect. Someone has been building toward this for four hundred years, and they will not allow a half-breed guardian with luminous crimson veins and too many accurate incident reports to get in the way. The fake engagement was supposed to be protection. What it became is something the dissolution formula cannot undo. I know this because we tried. **One-click now for this slow-burn queer vampire romantasy.** ★★★★★ **If you love:** **Queer vampire romance** — a gay crown prince and bisexual protagonist, rep that is never a plot point **Fake engagement / forced proximity** — an arrangement that was always going to cost more than agreed **True bond magic** — gold that won't go back to silver no matter how much they insist it should **Gothic vampire court intrigue** — political scheming, bloodline hierarchy, and a corruption four centuries in the making **Slow burn with teeth** — the tension builds across twenty-four chapters before anything lands **Morally grey love interest** — a crown prince who is ruthless, deeply private, and tells her he loves her with the flat delivery of a man presenting evidence **Dark fantasy romance** — obsidian halls, permanent night, blood magic, and a world where the thing keeping everyone alive is quietly breaking **Political intrigue romance** — court alliances, legal proceedings, founding documents, and a reform covenant written in blood **Found family and loyalty** — a seventeen-year-old in long sleeves who wears short sleeves by the end **This is the book for you.** ★★★★★ You will get a EPUB (2MB) file

Thorns of the Fae Court

**She was taken as a tithe. She became their ruin.** Liora has survived eleven tithe years by staying invisible. On the twelfth, she steps forward — not for herself, but for her sister. One act of love. One fae cart. No way back. The Thorn Court is everything the warning tales promised — beautiful, lethal, and ruled by a prince who calculates every move three steps in advance. Rhydian chose Liora as his tournament bride deliberately: a powerless human, easy to manage, simple to discard. He was wrong about all three. The tournament's rules are simple: seven trials, seven fae champions, one bride as prize. The bride has no agency. The bride cannot compete. Liora finds the loophole on the first day. What begins as a fake courtship — a strategic arrangement that suits them both — becomes something neither of them planned for. He trains her in secret. She catalogues his almost-reactions. The vine-marks on her wrists run warm every time he's near, and cold every time he's not. But the tournament is a trap inside a trap. The prince's uncle has been building his endgame for twenty years, and the Founding Rite he's about to invoke has only one variable he didn't account for: He has never fought a human who stopped treating her humanity like a wound. **Thorns of the Fae Court** is a slow-burn dark gothic fae romance featuring forced proximity, a fake courtship with very real feelings, a touch-her-and-die prince who doesn't understand what's happening to him, thorn magic, a mate bond neither of them asked for, and a heroine who outsmarts an entire court using nothing but her inconvenient humanity. **Tropes include:** stolen/captive heroine, fake courtship to real feelings, forced proximity, slow burn, touch-her-and-die, fae mate bond, enemies to lovers, morally grey love interest, tournament arc, dual POV. Intended for readers 18+. Contains mature themes and explicit content. You will get a EPUB (3MB) file

Keep the Future, Give Me Her (with Chapter 17)

The sky above the Caelum Observatory isn't one sky. It is a hundred of them—bleeding into each other like ink on wet paper. Maren has spent years travelling through fractured timelines, fixing history where it breaks and leaving before anything can matter. Staying is dangerous. Loving someone is worse. Then the rift traps her in one place. And in that place is **Isolde**. A brilliant scholar studying the very fracture Maren has spent years running from. A woman who looks at the collapsing world with ink-stained hands and quiet certainty—and decides she can fix it. Working together should be temporary. But every expedition through the broken centuries draws them closer. Every stolen moment in the candlelit observatory makes leaving harder. Until Maren discovers the truth. Sealing the rift will require a sacrifice. One soul must step into the void between timelines—erased from every past, every future, every memory. Maren already knows who it has to be. Because travellers like her were never meant to stay. But Isolde has been reading the ancient laws of time.

Dark Nectar: The Divine Hungers (Free Preview)

She kept the faith. Alone. In the cold. For something that never answered. Until it did. Until they did. One goddess of shadow. One goddess of earth. And the moment they both look at her… everything she thought she was breaks. Because this time— she is not the one worshipping. She is the one being chosen. Maren Ashveil has spent her life alone— running a quiet apothecary, practicing old magic, and keeping rituals no one else believes in. She was never meant to be the centre of anything. Only to orbit. But when the veil thins on Samhain night, something ancient finally answers her call. Not one goddess. Two. **Persephone** — cold, precise, devastating… the Queen who chose the dark and never looked back. **Gia** — wild, powerful, consuming… the earth itself, alive and watching her for far longer than she should have.

The Gorgon's Halfway Home

**She has been called a monster for three thousand years. She has decided to do something useful with it.** Meda Stone runs a registered supported-living home for vulnerable young adults in a 1930s semi-detached with a garden that grows things it shouldn't, ward-marks in the skirting boards, and a front door that opens from the inside without a key. She is also Medusa. Former temple servant. Former prisoner of the ruins. Former weapon. Currently: warden of a found family she has spent ten years building from scratch, and the lock on a primordial force that has been sealed inside her for three thousand years — and is finally starting to wake up. She does not need anyone complicating this. Callum Vane arrives at her door with the wrong briefing and centuries of baggage. He has been sent to monitor her arrangement. He is, according to his organisation, a dangerous entity's keeper. He is, in his own recent history, a man who made a mistake through certainty rather than incompetence and has been operating at half-throttle ever since. He was supposed to watch, report, and feel nothing. The house has other ideas. In a kitchen that seats eight, with a mythology-obsessed teenager and a rogue grove nymph and a hedge witch who is slowly learning the practice she thought a coven had taken from her, Callum begins to understand that the briefing was not just wrong — it was built on three thousand years of intentional mischaracterisation. And Meda begins to understand that the weight she has been carrying alone since the seventeenth century does not, in fact, have to be carried that way. The slow burn is real. The found family is earned. The ending is not what either of them expected. You will get a EPUB (3MB) file

The Cursed Noble and the Ghost-Speaker

Sylvie has spent nine quiet years tending the dead of Tidewatch Inn, guiding restless ghosts toward peace and keeping careful distance from the living. Silence is safe. Distance is survival. But when a dying noble arrives — cursed, haunted, and carrying secrets that echo through the harbour’s darkest history — the fog begins to move. And something long buried starts to wake.

The rules are simple: observe, guide, and never get involved. Then **Caspian Fen-Auroch** arrives. Disgraced heir to a powerful noble house, Caspian carries a slow-moving curse — one tied to ancient bindings, buried atrocities, and a fog that has begun creeping back into the harbour after eleven silent years.
