House of Blood & Ink
by Rowan Tixie
A powerless princess. An exiled monster prince. A bond that could destroy kingdoms.
The storm isn’t coming. She is.
I was born with wings, but no magic.
In a kingdom where power is everything, that made me something to be hidden. Watched too closely. Protected too carefully.
My father kept me behind castle walls my entire life, fearing what would happen if the world ever saw me for what I truly was. Fearing I would be found.
But something beyond those walls has always called to me. And the day I finally answer that call, something ancient answers back.
Kyros is the last creature I should want near me.
An exiled prince, descended from the race that hunted my kind to extinction, he is violence wrapped in shadows, grief, and bloodshed.
The kingdom would call him a monster. And I think they would be right.
But when he hears my voice, something inside him shifts. Something dangerous. Familiar. Like he already knows me in ways he shouldn’t. Like some forgotten part of him has been searching for me long before we ever met.
And the worst part is…
Something inside me recognizes him too.
As buried truths claw their way into the light, we are dragged toward a past soaked in blood, gods, and betrayal. A past neither of us were meant to uncover. Because the world sees a powerless princess with broken magic… and a monster prince already beyond saving.
But the things sleeping beneath my skin were never powerless. Just as the darkness inside Kyros was never truly broken.
Now the kingdom that spent my entire life trying to keep me caged may finally realize the truth:
I was never meant to be protected from the world.
The world was meant to be protected from me.
Of Fate & Ruin is a dark romantasy perfect for readers who love winged heroines, obsessive fate-bound romance, morally gray exiled princes, ancient magic, blood magic and consumption, prophecy, lyrical dark fantasy, found family, monstrous devotion, and slow-burn tension wrapped in ruin and spice.
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.
