Author: Angela J. Ford

A forbidden love. A sleeping fire god. A scholar who dares to wake him.
Exiled for breaking too many rules, scholar Ilaris is sent to catalog the forgotten runes of the fire giants, a race erased from history.
Then the earth splits open.
She awakens Killian: a chained fire giant prince, furious, achingly beautiful, and dangerous enough to destroy kingdoms. His touch burns. His freedom could end the world. And a blood oath has bound them together on an impossible quest.
But the one thing they both crave—to touch—is the one thing that could destroy them.
And desire is not the only danger waking beneath the earth.
Killian is only the beginning.
Ancient powers are waking. The gates are weakening. And the Unmaking are coming.
Bound by magic and forbidden desire, Ilaris and Killian must choose what they are willing to sacrifice and whether love is worth burning for.
For readers who love slow-burn yearning, forbidden fantasy romance, mortal/immortal romance, elemental magic, mythology-rich world-building, morally gray heroes, fierce heroines, and impossible quests with heart-wrenching stakes.

He was the King of Witches. Now, he’s her captive.
Former lady knight Cai lives in exile after being accused of the very crime she despises most: witchcraft. After all, no human could have survived the brutal attack that sank her warship two years ago, leaving her wounded and with foggy memories of being rescued by an ancient beast beneath the sea.
Only witches bond to beasts.
To make matters worse, a notorious prisoner is brought to the barren isle where Cai lives in disgrace, and is placed under her guard. Roiven is the King of Witches, handsome but evil, and the very man responsible for the attack that ruined her life. He’s enchanted to obey her, but the cunning bastard finds loopholes in every command. Tethered to her greatest enemy, Cai begins to realize the witches aren’t what she believed.
But when Roiven breaks her newfound trust, the fate of their world rests on whether Cai can find the truth buried beneath the lies. Because no matter how hard Cai wants to forget about the Kraken that saved her life, only the witch bonded to it will be strong enough to save Roiven's people from annihilation.
Rage of Krakens is a standalone epic romantasy with lost identities, beast companions, and political rage hot enough to burn everything to the ground. -

An ambitious scribe, a cunning spirit catcher, and their arranged marriage. May they survive it.
Mu Fanqing may be a lowly official’s daughter, but she has grand plans to study at the academy to become an imperial cultivator, chosen by the emperor himself. That is, until she receives an imperial edict commanding her marriage to Xiao Shu, a reclusive spirit-catcher with a reputation of being an all-around scoundrel.
She thinks her life is ruined, but it turns out that her husband-to-be is just as reluctant to be wed as she. They decide to make a pact, signed in blood, that they will be a couple in name only and stay out of each other’s business.
However, that is far easier said than done when Fanqing discovers that her husband has a secret criminal double life. He uses spirit-hunting as a front for an opportunistic smuggling business. This is especially deadly since Fanqing has her own crime. She has taken on a dragon as her magical master. The only problem is that associating with dragons is forbidden. Upon pain of death.
His secret could get them inspected by the imperial court. Her secret could get them both killed.
Fanqing wonders how long she can keep both secrets from being discovered. Especially as her own sister joins a band of investigators hunting down the leader of the smuggling ring, and a string of grisly murders point to a shapeshifting spirit who has a grudge against Shu. What will she do if it comes to choosing between keeping her secret, or protecting the husband she never wanted but is starting to fall for all the same? -

A phantom princess. A monster king. An arranged marriage that will ruin an empire.
Nahomie possesses fire that can unmake worlds—a gift that marks her for death. The empyrean’s holy order wants to execute her. And Fallen Angels want to consume her. Her only sanctuary lies in the ruins of a cursed castle, with a monster king banished into exile.
Tassarion was captured by Fallen Angels, broken and remade into a fearsome monstrosity. Exiled and alone, he has one path to freedom: a bond with a mate powerful enough to break his curse. So when Nahomie arrives—with a fiery attitude and forbidden magic—he offers her protection. For a price. She must become his bride.
In a castle where spirits whisper and shadows breathe, something ancient in the ruins begins to stir. And when their enemies inevitably come for them both, the phantom and her monster will discover what the empire tried hiding beneath bones and blood: they’re not abominations after all—they’re the empire’s undoing.

Iphigenia is a scholar first and princess second. When her father summons her as a ceremonial sacrifice to Artemis, she is eager to go to him–until she discovers it was a ploy for an arranged marriage. Since any life is preferable to matrimony, Iphigenia flees into the wild and soon finds herself caught up in the hunt for a chimera. But there is more than one hunter in the forest . . .
Midas’ kingdom is on the brink of ruin. He needs more than a political union–he needs a woman who can teach his kingdom literacy and currency. So, when Iphigenia abandons him at the altar, he does something no man has ever done before and strikes a deal with Artemis. If Midas can woo his runaway bride into a willing wife, Iphigenia is his. But could Iphigenia ever be happy as his queen . . . and can Midas be content with only a contract marriage? -

A phoenix foretold to ruin the throne. A prince destined to slaughter her people. When their fates collide, they’ll save their kingdom or be its doom.
Isoria Gildmere has no intention of fulfilling the prophecy told when she was a child. She doesn’t care about destroying the throne. As a forbidden phoenix shifter, all she wants is to survive. But when her people begin losing their magic and their lives start to fade, she ventures outside her protected town to find answers.
Though she fears the fae who hunt her kind, darker things lurk beyond her home. The dead are rising, and they wield terrifying powers. Ones that threaten the entire kingdom.
Crown Prince Archer Emberglade is committed to protecting his people from the revenants. Even if it means bargaining with the god of death and eradicating every last phoenix, those he believes are to blame. But when he and Isoria have a fateful encounter, they unintentionally form a blood bond, a connection that will kill them if they stray too far from each other.
Now, forced to work together or die, Archer and Isoria must convince his court they’re madly in love, all while desperately fighting a growing undead army and their own tumultuous feelings. But time is running out. And death isn’t the only thing to fear.

Whisper of Nightmares

He haunted her dreams long before he ever touched her.
When a burning horse returns to Euphemia’s garden—the same omen that marked her father’s death—she knows it has come for her. Branded cursed and feared by her village, she accepts the only escape offered: a northern widow’s proposal of marriage to her reclusive son.
But the cliffside fortress is no sanctuary.
Her husband is nowhere to be found by day, and by night, Euphemia is pulled into dreams not her own—of endless corridors, phantom cries, and a horned figure wreathed in shadow and flame. In this place where old gods whisper beneath a fading faith, the boundary between dreaming and death begins to fracture, and Euphemia realizes the curse binding Dagfinn is tied to her own, and the fire that marked her may be the only thing powerful enough to save him.
But to claim it, she may have to become the very monster they fear.
Come walk the haunted halls of this gothic romantasy set against a Norse-inspired dream realm, featuring an arranged marriage, a cursed lord, dreamwalking, haunted castles, grief and healing, slow-burn romance, touch-her-and-die devotion, morally grey men, a monstrous transformation, and a heroine forced to embrace forbidden power. -
