Magic of the night: Noctis onus

One moment Amelia is counting backwards from ten on an operating table. The next, she's waking up somewhere that defies every law of the world she knows.

Grimrokk is nothing like the quiet life she shares with her husband back home — it's wild, ancient, and soaked in a darkness that pulses like a living thing. The people here speak of magic as fact, and somehow, impossibly, Amelia has it. Raw, untamed, and desperately in need of control. What she doesn't need is Majliv — the infuriating, arrogant man who saved her life and hasn't let her forget it since.

He grates on every nerve she has. She'd love nothing more than to dismiss him entirely. But in a world teeming with horrors she doesn't yet understand, Majliv is the one person standing between her and something far worse than annoyance.

The problem? Every time Amelia closes her eyes in Grimrokk, she wakes up beside her husband. And every time she falls asleep at home, she's pulled back to Majliv. Two worlds. Two lives. One heart that's starting to fracture down the middle.

This dark Nordic-inspired romantasy doesn't pull its punches — expect tears, fury, and a slow-burning tension that coils tighter with every chapter. When the line between enemy and saviour blurs, and forbidden feelings become impossible to ignore, the real question isn't which world Amelia belongs to.

It's which one she's willing to fight for.
