Love love this Crowns of Nyaxia series 😭🤩 Def recommend if anyone is in the mood for an action-packed fantasy romance with dual POV, winged vampires, kings & nobles, battles/war, magic, and a little mystery.
There’s more plot than romance, and I wouldn’t say it’s super ‘high’ fantasy—there is a map, but the world, races, magic, gods, etc. aren’t too complicated or confusing. The writing style is very readable and so fun with all the diff callbacks and character relationships.
If it’s not a Coriatis bond then I don’t want it! 🫶 💁🏻♀️

“Loving Oraya was terrifying.
It required me to see things I didn’t want to see. Face things I didn’t want to face. Allow another soul to witness parts of myself I didn’t even want to acknowledge.
I now felt like such a fucking fool that I had never thought of it in that way, with that word, until this moment.
Of course it was love.
What else could it be, for someone to see that much of you? To see so much beauty in the parts of someone that they hate in themselves?
I almost wished I hadn’t had the realization, because it made what loomed ahead that much more devastating. Easier to have nothing to lose.”
