Do you want to be Demon King Draco's first love?

If you've ever wished a book character could be named after you, here's your chance! 

Now through 11:59am CST on March 25th 2022, I am accepting nominations for the name of Demon King Draco's first love. 

This character already has their own unique role in Draco's tragic backstory before he meets Angel Princess Seracuse in Angel's Abdication, but they are the first person that awoke the Human side--both bad and good-- within the Demon's soul.

If you're a fan of dark, enemies-to-lovers, redemptive villain book boyfriends, Draco may be the man for you! 

It is now less than 3 weeks 'til Angel's Abdication comes out!

This is my very first Dark Fantasy Romance EVER, and it kicks off a duology of long novellas about Demon King Draco's relationship with Angel Princess Seracuse. 

The second volume of the duology (Angel's Ascendance) is coming out August 9th 2022.

The duology leads right into my full-length dark fantasy romance novel Splitting Dawn, which will be available exclusively in the Realm of Darkness box set (October 4th 2022), and in which Draco will be a prominent character. 

If you haven't pre-ordered your copy of Angel's Abdication yet, there's still time to be one of the first people to own a copy by pre-ordering HERE.

Every year in The Central City, champions from all the different dimensions in the Starfire Express universe gather for the Unification Tributary Festival.

In honor of the Dragon Overlords, who liberated the worlds from the Fairy Court's iron-fisted rule, every world brings luxurious food in abundance for an outdoor feast in the City Square. 

Streets are decorated with strings of gold and green lights and lanterns.

​A grand arena (once used by the Fairies for executions), now serves as a place where Champions from outlying worlds can duel for the opportunity to bring their families permanently to the Central City and all its comforts. 

The grandest celebration in Queen Arlena's innocent world falls on the first day of spring--the first day where farmland is tilled. 

After a Soil-Breaking ceremony, where the Queen breaks the first ground of the season and leaves a magical Wish for abundance for the next harvest, the Castle Chefs serve a feast in the main hall for all the people to enjoy.

Marriage ceremonies in the main hall are often scattered throughout the day, at which the Queen leaves more Wishes for long marriages and many children.

Children participate in annual games of skill, hoping to be selected by a master of their choice trade for future apprenticeships.

​The day ends with bonfires, dancing, and a special magical fireworks display in the Market. 

While all the worlds in the Splitting Worlds universe have their own holidays which vary by culture, the Doubling Day Festival is a day that all races (except Humans) celebrate.

As Doubling Day is the day that the gods sacrificed over half of their family line to separate one world into four separate dimensions (for the survival of all races), it is a highly-respected religious holiday.

Shrines are packed with worshipers who bring incense and financial offerings to support the gods who reside within each of the Worlds. Parades bring the new year's tributes of linen and supplies to the High Temples, where the priests and monks perform plays reenacting the Doubling.

Standing-room-only feasts are held just outside the Temple grounds, where--between courses--everyone from the tiniest toddler to the oldest elder are invited to join in ritual dances late into the evening. 

The evening ends with a person pledge to the gods, which is written in blood on a smooth flat stone. The stones are added to an ever-building Oath Wall, which encompasses the Temple grounds.
