We’re celebrating the new release of Bound to the Broken Crown by Astoria Hope!

Genre: Dark Romantasy

  • Beauty and the Beast
  • Empath x Cursed Prince
  • Soft FMC, Stabby MMC
  • Forced proximity
  • Yearning, slow burn
  • Touch-starved, tortured, antihero romance

A prince cursed to destroy everything he touched. Until he touched her.

Isca never dreamed her gift for sensing emotions would draw the eyes of princes—let alone the Assembly of Mages. Brought to court under the guise of diplomacy, she quickly learns her secret task: soothe the beast raging under Prince Emrys’ skin and deliver his heir back to the Assembly to forge into a weapon. Refusal means her family’s ruin.
But Emrys is not the monster she expected. Yes, he’s volatile. Yes, he’s destructive and dangerous. Beneath the curse, she glimpses the man—giving, fiercely protective, and unbearably lonely.
To the Assembly, Isca is a tool. To Emrys, she’s a temptation he cannot afford. He pushes her away to protect her, even as his eyes betray the truth: she is the only thing keeping him from drowning.
He could break her with a touch. She could bind him with a heartbeat. While their enemies scheme to use them as pawns, desire threatens to undo every wall they’ve built.

Together, she and Emrys could shatter the Assembly’s chains. But that would mean laying bare her betrayal—the one thing with the power to destroy both the man and the monster.

BOOK TOUR: Death Comes Slow in the Bayour by Nick Mendoza

Posted on by

Welcome to the tour for horror collection, Death Comes Slow in the Bayou by Nick Mendoza!

Death Comes Slow in the Bayou: The Witch, The Bookseller, and The Bride

Release Date: June 2025

Genre: Southern Gothic Horror/ Short Stories

  • Southern Gothic Horror
  • Witches
  • Folklore Curses
  • Haunted Brides
  • Psychological Unraveling
  • Vampires with a Folkloric Edge

Something lingers in the Louisiana night—watching, waiting. Vengeance seeps through the swamps, and the past refuses to stay buried.

In this chilling Southern Gothic horror anthology, author and screenwriter Nick Mendoza weaves three haunting tales of supernatural terror, psychological dread, and creeping folklore. These are stories of the cursed and the desperate—of those who seek answers in the dark, only to find something staring back.

The Witch of Acadiana

When his young son falls gravely ill under unexplainable circumstances, a skeptical father dismisses the whispers of an old woman’s curse. But as the sickness deepens and reason unravels, he’s forced to confront the terrifying possibility that folklore isn’t just legend.

Mirrored Opposition

A distraught young man scours the French Quarter for his missing girlfriend, only to discover her last known whereabouts tied to a reclusive bookseller—rumored to have made a deal with the devil. As he searches for answers, he begins to wonder: what if the rumors are true?

Valeria

In the heart of the South, where secrets fester and grudges never die, a charismatic bachelor offers his quiet coworker advice on how to take control in his relationship. But when the bride-to-be finds out—and a series of catastrophic, almost unnatural events unfold—he begins to wonder if she’s coming for revenge… and if anything can stop her.

Mirrored Opposition was a Nashville Film Festival Semifinalist screenplay, and the full collection has earned accolades from over a dozen domestic and international competitions, including Cinequest, Vail Film Festival, ScreenCraft, and the Manchester Film Festival.

Perfect for fans of:

Gothic horror
Psychological thrillers
Supernatural folklore
Dark folklore

Dripping with dread and steeped in Southern mystery, Death Comes Slow in the Bayou is a chilling journey through whispered legends, buried guilt, and inevitable fates

BOOK TOUR: A Shadow Called Sunshine by Nicole Cherie Hesse

Posted on by

This week we are pleased to share a unique story that while fictional, is based on the author’s journey!

A Shadow Called Sunshine

Genre: Dark Psychological Romance

Tropes/ Themes

  • Hero’s journey
  • Major characters killed off
  • Unlikeable victim
  • Self discovery
  • Righting past wrongs
  • Time twisted Love triangle
  • Forbidden love
  • Soul life journey

He doesn’t see himself as the villain.

She can’t believe he is, until it’s too late. But the damage is undeniable.

Charismatic, composed, and deeply controlled, the shadow of the man at the center of this haunting story has mastered the art of perception. Yet beneath his carefully curated surface lives a long lineage of suffering, sabotage and choices that ripple far beyond what her doting eyes can see.

When their worlds begin to unravel, their souls are pulled into a surreal, subconscious descent—where memories blend with illusion,
time folds into itself, and lives once lived rise to the surface.

What emerges is not just the unraveling of one man’s mind, but a blinding revelation: that every choice casts a shadow that we carry from one life to the next.

That power, without awareness, breeds quiet devastation.

And our stories—spoken or not—bind us in spiraling patterns across generations, and even lifetimes.

Told through lyrical, dreamlike prose, A Shadow Called Sunshine is a psychological and spiritual reckoning— a mirror reflecting the shadows we all carry, and the karmic imprint of the pain we refuse to face.

This is not a story of survival.

It’s a story of consequence that explores the path from self-sabotage to self-sovereignty.

And it dares to ask:

What if self-sabotage casts shadows beyond the edges of this lifetime?

A Shadow Called Sunshine is a haunting psychological novel that explores the allure of narcissism, the rippling impact of abuse and the soul life journey that connects us all—even beyond the constraints of our current reality.

Told through dreamlike prose and a surreal, poetic lens, this story follows the spiral staircase timeline of three trauma tethered souls. A woman who trifles with the sharp knife of self sabotage, the man who wants to save her and the monster who never saw himself as the villain.

Determined to pave her own path, Zhao Mei Su is a talented healer with the passion of a warrior. But she has no teacher to educate her until she dares an adept warrior much older than her to give her lessons. The more she practices, the more her energy field transforms, connecting her to a cosmic realm she never knew existed.

Up against the wire to produce a piece of hard-hitting journalism to solidify her career and no other ideas, she decides it’s time to come out of hiding and embrace what she truly is – a Valkyrie.

She dusts off her wings and goes undercover at Robert Sinclair’s Reformation Academy, the prison alternative that boasts the ability to turn supernaturals into simplynaturals, removing what makes them different and allowing them to better assimilate into society.

But there is something fishy about a vampire who can now be a phlebotomist and a necromancer who works as a mortician. Stella is determined to discover what is going on behind those golden gates and expose the Academy to the realm.

What she didn’t expect to find at the Academy were starving vampires who wanted to feed from her feet, a shy cyclops suitemate, or a reaper who is sunshine personified. Even one of her simplynatural professors draws her attention in a way she can’t explain. Stella’s plan didn’t include making friends, but now that she has, she’s dead set on doing whatever it takes to keep them safe.

Robert Sinclair’s Reformation Academy has a dark secret, and it’s up to Stella to uncover it before all of them are reformed.

Reformed is the first book in a planned four book why choose paranormal romance series, meaning Stella will not have to choose between her love interests. This slow-burn MFMMM book is intended for adult audiences and contains explicit content.

The Forbidden King (The Heir of Atlantis series)

Publication Date: December 3, 2024

Genre: Romantic Fantasy

🙅‍♀️ Forbidden Love
🤫 Secrets
❤️ Forced Proximity
🌶 Spicy Romantasy
💀 Love After Death
❤️‍🔥 Human X Fae
🧜🏻‍♂️ Age Gap
❤️‍🩹 Grieving/Healing
👑 Royalty X Commoner

🔮 Mating Bond Revelations

A chambermaid bound to her family’s prestigious palace legacy. A King harboring a secret bound to shatter his world.

Leader Reneah Diaz, the unparalleled head of the palace chambermaids and valets, was a figure of admiration and respect. Her family’s legacy amongst the staff was not just coveted, but revered. But when the grieving Fae King returns to Atlantis with the Heir in tow, the human chambermaid breaks all the rules and forms an unexpected and unique friendship with father and daughter. This friendship, unlike any other, born in the most unlikely of circumstances, opens up a world of secrets and revelations about his mating bond with the deceased Queen Neleah, secrets that not a soul alive knows of.

A hidden shame plagues the Fae King, a secret so rare that it could shatter the perceptions Neleah and Cathan carefully built. But when undeniable chemistry flourishes with his human chambermaid, he feels something he never dared to dream of—something worth risking his reputation and his daughter’s.

In a world where palace politics expressly forbids relations between the royal family and the palace staff, and where relations between humans and Fae are incredibly taboo, Cathan’s unusual request for Reneah to take residence in the royal wing does not go unnoticed by her superior or her subordinates. And when their affections become something more, Reneah and Cathan must face a heart-wrenching decision: distance themselves or risk destroying her family’s legacy and his reputation forever.

The Forbidden King is an Heir of Atlantis Novella (Book 1.5). It should be read after reading The Veiled Heir (Book 1). This is a spicy romantasy, a blend of romance and fantasy with mature themes, intended for readers aged 18+. Trigger and content warnings can be found at the beginning of the book and on STFernandez.com. Please read with care.
