The Illusion Is Cracking
A new romantasy set in the rain-soaked streets of Grayside.
✨ A New Story Begins in Grayside ✨
I’ve been living in this city for a long time.
Not the kind you can visit on a map—but the kind that seeps into your bones. A place where rain never quite stops falling, where magic hums beneath the streets, and where control is enforced so carefully that most people never realize what’s been taken from them.
Today, I finally get to invite you there.
Grayside: The First Resonance is officially out, and it’s a story that grew from questions I couldn’t stop asking:
What happens when control meets defiance?
Who gets to decide what’s dangerous?
And what does it cost to love someone standing on the opposite side of that line?
Set in a city ruled by deception and terror, this dark romantasy novel features a society where magic is outlawed, dissent is simmering, and the truth is challenging the established order. At the heart of the story are Arden, a strategist without magic who leads a quiet resistance, and Oren, the prince tasked with erasing everything she believes in.
They are not meant to meet.
They are not designed to communicate.
Despite that, the city is evolving.
If you love slow-burn tension, morally complex characters, enemies-to-lovers dynamics, and worlds that feel alive and dangerous, I think Grayside might stay with you for a while.
Thank you for reading, for supporting my work, and for stepping into this story with me. Expect more excerpts, notes from the development process, and world-building insights shortly, as there's much more to discover about Grayside.
