Two Twisted Crowns
448 pages
A mist-drenched, gothic romantasy conclusion where love and monstrousness intertwine to break an ancient curse.
What it feels like
This conclusion wraps the reader in a thick, eerie fog of gothic romance and high-stakes magic. The pacing is brisk and urgent, driven by the ticking clock of a curse and the terrifying, intimate threat of possession. It feels like wandering through a dark, mist-cloaked forest where every shadow hides either a monster or a desperate lover. The prose is lyrical and sensory, leaning heavily into poetic rhymes and chilling imagery that makes the magic system feel tactile and dangerous. Beneath the dread-soaked atmosphere lies a fiercely earnest exploration of sacrifice, the burden of power, and the blurred lines between humanity and monstrousness. It is a deeply satisfying, swoony read for anyone who loves their fantasy laced with dark magic, brooding tension, and a romance that defies the darkness.

About the book
Elspeth and Ravyn have gathered most of the twelve Providence Cards, but the last, and most important one remains to be found: The Twin Alders.
If they are going to find it before the Solstice and cure the kingdom of the dark magic infecting it, they will need to journey beyond the dangerous mist-cloaked forest that surrounds their kingdom.
And the only one who can lead them there is the monster that shares Elspeth's head. The Nightmare. And he's not eager to share any longer.
