The book you've been waiting so (im)patiently for
When I started brainstorming this book nearly three years ago now, I never imagined that 1) anyone else would be interested, and 2) that I’d actually do it.
Well, I’m happy to have been proven wrong on both counts.
And I am SO happy to announce that my debut novel, Sacred Night, the first of my new series Blood Will Reign, will be releasing on March 20th, 2026 (if everything goes according to plan).
If anyone remembers my first post, I teased that this book would be raw, gritty, angsty, and high-stakes. Nearly 7,000 of you degenerates thought that sounded fabulous, and well, here we are 😂.
At its core, this series is about how being true to yourself is enough to change the world. That you are enough to change the world.
And damnit, that gets me every time.
What is Sacred Night about?
Sacred Night follows the story of our main protagonist Nyx Byrke as she’s plunged into a maelstrom of magic, power, and cruelty. Read the official blurb below:
In a world where power is everything and cruelty is currency, a girl with nothing is forced to make choices with consequences that not even the Fates can escape.
All I’ve ever done is dream of a way out.
From this town that bleeds anyone stupid enough to reach for the last blooms of hope withering on the vine.
From the dead-end future that stalks behind every corner, waiting for me in the shadows.
But no matter how hard I try, it won’t let me go.
Until one night, Fate gives me a choice. And I make a promise.
It’s my fault for believing that choice was anything other than a curse.
Unlike the demons of my upbringing, the ones in this place don’t lurk in the dark. They hide behind polite smiles and pretty words, waiting for me to blink. My naiveté is blood in the water to these Legacies built on bones and suffering.
So I do what I’ve always done: watch and learn. Learn and adapt. Adapt and survive. But when survival hinges on playing their games, my defiance is my doom:
I touch the untouchable Heir of House Ignis.
I scorn the Leviathan of House Aquae.
I defy the sentinel of House Aeris.
I deny the beast of House Terra.
I taunt the dragon prince.
I incite the arrogant vampire.
When the bill for my sins against the hierarchy of power comes due, the price nearly kills me. That is, until this ravenous, writhing… hunger… in my veins wakes with an insatiable thirst.
In a single moment, the balance tips.
The game is set.
The threads of Fate are spun.
And there’s no way out.
Where can I read Sacred Night?
The Sacred Night ebook is available for preorder on Amazon now, and upon release will be available via Kindle Unlimited and Libby so you can read it for free from your local library system.
In the meantime, you can add Sacred Night to your Goodreads TBR, or bookmark it on romance.io.
I anticipate the paperback edition being released some time after the ebook launches, and that will be available to purchase directly from my website, as well as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Bookshop.org.
