If you're looking for an enriching fantasy world with an epic plot, these are not the books for you. These books are a dark romantasy trilogy—heavy on the romance. They are easy-to-follow stories, with very light world building, and contain insta-love vibes (for those who prefer slower burns).
I created this trilogy while working on Shadows of the Crown. I had an abundant amount of spicy scenes I wanted to write, but I knew they would never fit in with the Shadows of the Crown series. And so the Curse of Gods series was born, molded around the spice I just had to get on paper. The trilogy is a fun read with some heavy topics and very dark themes, so please read the trigger warnings before starting.
