Volume 3! Have you read KB’s article? She JUST debuted earlier this month and is working on big things with The Sunchosen Chronicles!

#kbelizabeth #balladofwhispers #romantasy #romantasyillustrated #booksta #bookstagram #booktok #darkfantasy

“For all the readers who watched their world burn to ash, and could do nothing but scream.” The dedication set the tone for this entire book - @authalexisrune and @fatedloves wrote a masterpiece full of witty banter, angst, first love, found family, grumpy (her!!) X sunshine (him!!), supernatural and a magic system like no other - there are REALMS to explore. If you love dark romance, dark academia and fantasy - this is the ultimate mashup!

Check it out in Volume 3 - this art piece is STUNNING and brought to life by @falloutbryan

This Vicious Dream by @staciastarkauthor is OUT NOW!

Roamntasy Illustrated has had the pleasure of being on Team Stacia for a while now - promoting This Vicious Dream, helping with the cover reveal, exclusively releasing Chapter 1 in Volume 3, interviewing Stacia (coming in Volume 4!), being an event sponsor of her first private part Kingdom of Death at Apollycon, and designing a Special Edition magazine just for her and her readers! We LOVE team Stacia - this team is full of women who love this community and the incredibly brilliant writer Stacia herself, and of course nothing would get done without Cristina - we love you both.

ABOUT THIS VICIOUS DREAM:
Once, I helped save a kingdom.
Now, I’m trapped in a prison of thorns and nightmares.
My crime? Knowing the location of a power that could reshape the world—a grimoire I swore to protect with my life.

That secret is the only thing keeping me alive while my captors wait for me to break.

Until he arrives.

Beautiful. Ruthless.

Dark, inscrutable eyes. A dangerously wicked grin.

But he’s not here to rescue me. He wants the grimoire for himself––and he’ll destroy anyone who stands in his way.

My only choice is a fragile, temporary alliance with a man I can never trust.

Because there’s more at stake than just a stolen grimoire or an ancient grudge.

And behind his mask of effortless allure, he’s hiding something far more dangerous than a thirst for power.

Something that could destroy us all.

There is NOTHING wrong with fantasy and romance. Nothing. We have the honor and privilege of being in a position where deeply intimate and personal stories and journeys are shared with us and we will never exploit or shame those stories. Fantasy and Romance are Real. Romantasy Illustrateds tagline is Romantasy is Real. It is in tangible in the experiences we have reading, the joy of escaping reality, the emotional attachments we have to characters, the wack theories, the desire to dress up and attend events, to treat authors like the celebrities they are. It. Is. Real. And we proudly talk about all things fantasy and romance!

Event: @staciastarkauthor for @apollycon and in case you didn’t know we are Stacia’s biggest fangirls 😘
