Knight Nazhira faces execution for a murder she did not commit. When Melos the Wicked offers her freedom in exchange for her firstborn child, she does not hesitate. After all, Nazhira only beds women, the deal can never be upheld. Or so she believes.
Given one year to fall pregnant or die if she fails, Nazhira plots to escape her curse. When time is eventually running short, Melos decides to take things into her own hands. As she attempts to teach Nazhira how to court for pleasure, Melos finds herself falling for the knight instead. With such bitter bonds that tie them together, a curse ticking away the hours of Nazhira’s life, and a murderer yet to face justice, can there ever be real trust between them?
Currently in its second draft!
Do you love music? I have a playlist for everything.
This one is a beast. I haven’t written a novel this big since I was 18, and that’s saying something. Currently at 150,300 words, this epic, slow-burn romance has yet to get the red-pen treatment.
With multiple continents and cultures forming the backdrop of the central drama, many agents turn the cogs of this story. While the two love interests, Nazhira and Melos, enact their feud of enemies-to-lovers, the people they care for and those they left behind have machinations of their own.
I wanted to read a f/f romance that was meaty with action, betrayal, and steeped in knightly codes of honour. So, I’m working on it.
