Garden of Gods 🩸🌹

THE HURRICANE WARS x THE BONE SHARD DAUGHTER

(I like to think of it as Attack on Titan set in the Ottoman Empire with more magic and more romance)

THE HURRICANE WARS X THE BONE SHARD DAUGHTER x Turkic Mythology

When pen becomes weapon, a historian must decide whether she will unravel the truth in pursuit of humanity's freedom from the tyrannical sultanate, or bury them to stay alive.

My adult romantasy Garden of Gods has
🫀angsty banter
🥀animated beasts & body horror

The manuscript has seen some agent and indie publisher interest but I’m still in the query trenches!

Apollo and Hyacinthus, but with an Indian spin to it..

In ancient India gods walk among men. Yashit, the Lotus Dancer is set to become a Nrityadeva, the elite dancers of heaven. But what's supposed to happen when Yashit falls for the Sun God himself? Bad idea.

Two men in the image. Dark/Prussian blue background. First man blends into the background while the other man is in the foreground. Man in the background has long flowing black hair, with blue undertones in the skin, seems to be blessing the man in the front. Man in the front has silver-ish hair, golden skin and is crying

"Revenge is the only thing I seek."

Mmm sure girl tell yourself that. Mari can lie to herself all she wants but the reader knows the truth😉
