THE FOXGLOVE KING x ALCHEMISED Rage isn’t always loud. Women must often harness their anger to safely move through oppression. Rory Alwine knows this too well. She and her daughter are thrust among demigods where she will have to play into male egos to survive. Sacrificial religion and misogyny await. But can she stifle her defiant nature to keep from a fate no woman should meet? #PitDark #A #DR #DF

THE FOXGLOVE KING x ALCHEMISED A dark romantasy story with older characters and a mother as the protagonist? Rory shuns the status quo of the aristocracy she was raised in. But when she and her daughter are stranded on the demigod side of the continent, she must slip back into the role she resisted and team up with an ostracized demigod to uncover that humans are being used for power and breeding. #PitDark #A #DF #DR

THE FOXGLOVE KING x ALCHEMISED When Rory Alwine uncovers that the demigods of the continent might be human trafficking, she hesitantly teams up with a powerful, ostracized demigod to survive in a place that the Divine have forbidden her to be. Who can she trust amid the misogyny, vitriolic religion, and militia uprisings? #PitDark #A #DF #DR

THE FOXGLOVE KING x ALCHEMISED Rory’s lifetime of defiance against oppressive forces is challenged when she and her daughter become refugees among demigods in a land where the Divine have forbidden humans to be. But did they end up there by accident? Rory will uncover that other humans are trapped there as well—trafficked humans that will keep demigods in power… and populated. #PitDark #A #DF #DR

THE FOXGLOVE KING x ALCHEMISED Rory and her daughter are stranded on the forbidden side of the continent among magical demigods, where defiance is paid in blood and bold female voices must be harnessed to ensure survival amid misogyny, classism, sacrificial religion, and human trafficking. Rory will have to decide who to trust or face a fate worse than death. #PitDark #A #DF #DR

There’s something in the water 🌊 When an island whispers different versions of unwritten local legends & turning into a creature of the deep as a result of heartbreak makes you want to drown your ex- no one is safe Especially not the ex boyfriends #QuestPit #Q #A #R #S #SFF
