The last thing Nova saw was the men she loves collapsing in the street.
Then a black bag. Then nothing.
Now she’s alone inside the Nightmare Order, trapped somewhere deep within the system that spent centuries making sure people like her could never exist.
The questions never stop.
Neither do the tests.
And the longer Nova stays inside the Order, the more certain she becomes that this was never random. Never accidental. Whatever they want from her, they’ve been waiting a very long time.
Back in the Hollow, something is breaking.
Six men were never supposed to bond the way they did. The system was built to prevent it. To control it.
To erase it.
But grief makes people dangerous.
And somewhere in the dark, the nightmare is starting to wake up.
Order is a slow-burn why choose romantasy featuring – a feral heroine trapped inside the institution built to fear her – six dangerously devoted men pushed to the edge of unraveling – forced separation, forbidden bonds, and found family – psychological tension, hidden experiments, and buried truths – a town willing to fight for one of their own – and a system that spent centuries containing them, and the cluster about to tear it open
CeeCee Crow writes dark, slow-burn romance for readers who like their heroines guarded, their heroes obsessed, and their bonds impossible to walk away from. Her books live in the tension — the half-glance, the held breath, the moment someone realizes they're already in too deep.
She's drawn to feral women, quiet devotion, and the kind of love that doesn't ask permission. If a character is morally gray, emotionally unavailable, or one bad day away from burning it all down, she's probably writing about him.
She lives in Wisconsin and writes the books she wishes someone had handed her years ago.
