Do you want a mystery novel set in Victorian England? Implied queer point of view characters? A heavily neurodivergent-coded character who has a major role in the story (including as one of the point of view characters!) and who is a deliberately unreliable narrator? Some absolutely excellent puns, that don't detract from the story? Then this book is perfect for you!

Hey Bridgerton fans-- are you ready to leave the Regency Era behind for an even spicier period of history? Are you ready for an EXTRA Spicy historical novel, starring a strong female lead who never gives up her morals? Do you love seeing CANON gay characters in period settings? Are you always down for some HOT m/f historical spice with ehrm…let's just say….morally questionable boys? Do you stand with authors who have been unfairly #cancelled for writing ~problematic~ ships? It's time to find out how much spice tolerance you really have-- let's see if #Dark Academia fans can handle this 18th century hotness.

Do you want to see a neurodivergent-coded protagonist grapple with his world, and more importantly, his feelings (often murder-y, but eventually delicious angst)? Do you want to see a queer-coded non-white guy tackle religious bigotry and the fucked-up-ness of his own life? Do you want to see a girlboss with her tits out? You can watch this trio - and a further diverse cast - be thrown into wars between genocidal cults, morally gray militaries, and a shadowy, corrupt institution that really calls the shots - ALL IN SPACE!

Outlander meets Bridgerton in this wonderfully complex dark romantasy, where manipulative courtly drama clashes with violence and gore! Between brooding and morally grey MMCs and badass FMCs who are done with everyone's shit, sparks fly and there is quite a bit of spice… Arranged/forced marriage, taboo romance, age gaps: this series has it all As bonus content, there are multiple POVs and this series might even help you hit your goodreads goals, as each book has an average of 1000 pages!

Born in 1846, Florencia Brannon never thought death would come for her at such young age: 17. Spending over 100 years of her undead life in a tomb, the world has dismissed her as another tragic death. But what becomes of her when she walks the streets of Mystic Falls again? This time not as a human, but as a vampire. Damon/OC/Stefan.
