Welcome to my very first fairytale romance. My intention was to write a time travel romance with a gothic feel to it, but somewhere along the way, the story incorporated elements in it that involved a curse and magic. The focus is still on the romance, but this story is a slower build than what I typically do. I wanted to spend sufficient time in setting the stage for the events that will later transpire in the book. As a result, this book is about twice as long as the other romances I typically write.
If you prefer fairy tales that are light and fluffy, this isn’t the book for you. I have incorporated darker themes in this book. This book follows the Grimm fairytale path. It’s not based off of any familiar fairy tales in modern times. I set out to do something new, but I did do research in different folklore regarding fairies to help get inspiration for how the magical elements should work in this book. As two author friends told me, make sure magic has some rules.
This book is primarily about two people finding each other across the gulf of two centuries and falling in love. This is a romance, and since it’s a romance, there is a happy ending where true love conquers all.
If this sounds like your kind of book, I welcome you to my dark and romantic world.
Happy reading,
Ruth Ann Nordin
