I’ll be there!
this month the dragonfruits voted to read none other than .author's brand new romantasy, blackwarden! ✨
beautifully dark and set in a sentient mansion, blackwarden is ciara's romantasy debut and a standalone... "for now." inside this little story you'll find haunting language, creepy imagery, and a literal shadow daddy. no, like he actually wields shadow magic. oh, and he can feel her emotions. so, that's neat.
the dark fae in rosalin's world are monsters who demand sacrificial humans for the unseelie court. so of course when her sister is chosen, rosalin volunteers instead. she's dragged away to the gatehouse and is left only with the gatekeeper, keres—a shadowy, cursed dark fae who will take her through to the unseelie court.
well, except... maybe he doesn't want to.
because ciara is a wonderful human, signed copies of this gorgeous book are available at f&f!
