📚 Gild by Raven Kennedy
Auren is the favored pet of King Midas, living in a palace of gold. Literally. Her body has been transformed by magic, her skin gilded, her freedom stripped. She tells herself she’s safe. Loved. Special. But when war looms and politics twist, Auren is sent away, and everything changes.
What follows is the unraveling of everything she believed. The world outside her cage is brutal, hungry, and ready to devour her. But buried under the gold, Auren has teeth of her own. And she’s about to learn how to use them.
🐺 The Tyrant Alpha’s Rejected Mate by Cate C. Wells
Una Hayes knows her place. An omega with a physical disability in a pack where strength is everything, she’s kept her head down and stayed out of trouble. That is until her wolf decides Killian Kelly, the pack alpha, is her mate. He rejects her. Publicly. Cruelly. What follows isn’t just a romance, it’s a slow, painful reckoning. Because Una might be an omega, but she’s no pushover. And Killian’s control might make him a tyrant, but even tyrants can fall.
❄️ The Winter King by C. L. Wilson
Wynter Atrialan, the ruthless king of Wintercraig, won the war against sun‑soaked Summerlea. To secure peace, and exact revenge, he demands one of the Summer king’s daughters. The lightning‑wielding outcast Princess Khamsin is given as a sacrificial bride.
Khamsin arrives in the frozen North expecting execution. Instead she finds a land dying beneath Wynter’s uncontrollable Ice Heart—a deadly magic that is slowly killing him. What begins as political convenience burns into something fierce enough to thaw a kingdom and scorch the gods themselves.
🐍 Kiss of the Basilisk by Lindsay Straube
Every year the kingdom’s Split or Swallow program (think The Bachelor filmed in a dungeon) pairs fourteen hopeful women with basilisk mentors to weaponize seduction and win Prince Leo’s hand. Tem, who has never been kissed, draws Caspen, the Serpent King: six feet of fangs, scales, and daddy issues. What begins as flirty lessons escalates into a conspiracy that could petrify both humans and basilisks, and Tem is the hinge on which betrayal will turn.
🖤 Humans Don’t Have Horns by S.H. Schreiber
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?
Please review the trigger warnings before reading this dark romantasy, and don’t expect to root for the “good guys”—there aren’t any.
