"Humans Don't Have Horns" e-book cover

She was wed to unite kingdoms. He lives to raze them.

In Amada, Lian, a Puresoul princess, has spent her life obeying the True Religion and the rules of her father’s court. But all that ends on the night of her marriage, when a raid shatters her future. Kidnapped by a ruthless Cursed One, marked for his sins with horns, Lian must navigate a realm of violence, prejudice, and forbidden truths.

Her captor, Daton, known to Puresouls as The Butcher, is supposed to be the monster she was raised to fear. So why is he the only one she feels she can trust? As danger closes in from every corner, forbidden attractions emerge, and the Puresoul princess begins to question everything she’s been taught: about the Cursed Ones, about her own people, and about the man who should be her greatest enemy.

As their unlikely and fragile alliance unfolds, Lian and Daton must contend with man-eating monsters and mysterious prophecies. If they can trust each other to work together, they may be the only ones who can save all the races of Amada. But when hate and trauma are woven into the fabric of their existence, can love truly overcome the scars both of them carry?

Humans Don’t Have Horns is a dark romantasy / fantasy romance featuring true enemies to lovers, forbidden love, political intrigue, found family, and high stakes.

What a ride!
Man this book !! What a ride ! Absolutely ate this up and was so intrigued during the whole story. Even seeing various POV’s from side characters occasionally was refreshing and enlightening!

Grace in Brutality
"Humans Don't Have Horns" plunges you into a world where violence is the very air you breathe: horned "Cursed Ones" are hunted for immortality, and religions are wielded as weapons. Trauma isn't sensationalized, references to sexual violence pulse with survivor rage, and insists that suffering doesn't make you a monster.

No Happy Ending, Only Obsession
"The stars know how much I wanted her. How much my heart is consumed by her. Even if I can't keep her, I will always be hers. She brought me back to life and marked me as hers." This got 5 stars from me because it made me want to use all my PTO and ignore my kids (just kidding...kinda). It had me going through all the emotions...
