by Rowan Tixie
The storm isn’t coming. She is.
She was born with wings, but no magic. Always hidden. Always watched. Always silenced.
Emerald is the princess of a powerful kingdom who has spent her entire life caged within castle walls. Feeling a mysterious pull to the outside world, one day Emerald decides to leave. That single act of defiance awakens something ancient inside her.
He is a creature carved from war and ruin.
Kyros is an exile marked by violence. He’s spent years haunted by blood, betrayal, and grief he’s tried to bury—until her voice cuts through the dark. Familiar, haunting and unmistakably his.
As chaos builds and long-buried truths rise to the surface, Emerald and Kyros are pulled into a past they never knew and a future written in blood. They are now faced with the realization... Maybe Emerald was never meant to leave her cage.
Dark Romantasy author, crafting stories of devotion and devastation.
Rowan Tixie writes dark romance steeped in fate, longing and the kind of devotion that borders on dangerous. A lifelong reader of romantasy and dark fantasy romance, Rowan spends as much time lost in books as she does creating them. It was her love of reading that inspired her to finally create the story she'd been dreaming about for decades. Outside of writing, she explores historic locations, paranormal investigates and seeks inspiration in quiet, solitary places. She is far more likely to be found wandering somewhere atmospheric and isolated than standing in a crowd. She writes for readers who love tension, morally gray characters, and those who want stories that linger long after the end. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* WELCOME to The TIXIEverse: The TIXIEverse is a long-spanning saga of intertwined destinies, told through interconnected series and duologies. Each follows a central couple while the consequences of their choices ripple across centuries. Beginning with Of Fate & Ruin and Of Vows & Vengeance, the story unfolds across more than a thousand years of bloodlines, wars and devotion. What starts in a world of magic and prophecy will eventually expand beyond a single planet, carrying the echoes of love, brutality, oppression, and vengeance into a far-reaching future. Every couple's story ends. The legacy they leave behind does not.
