The Wolf and the Crown of Blood

January 2026

Inspired by Beauty and the Beast and Eros and Psyche, this dark, seductive tale is perfect for fans of Raven Kennedy’s Plated Prisoner series, with the wit and spice of Callie Hart’s Quicksilver. Packed with dark fairytale vibes, gothic romance, and tropes like enemies to lovers, forced proximity, death pacts, and villain-gets-the-girl, this is a story where love is as deadly as it is irresistible. In this first installment, a princess who offers blood sacrifices to uphold the fragile accords between demigods and mortals falls for the Wolf, an immortal assassin sent to kill her.
