Between Lark and Lore
Not yet published
Expected 11 Jun 26Addictive, spellbinding, and angst-filled—Between Lark and Lore plunges readers into a world of ancient magic, slow-burn desire, and two men who'd burn the world down for her. Perfect for fans of Jennifer L. Armentrout, Carissa Broadbent, Raven Kennedy, and LJ Andrews.
*****
SECRETS FRAY
The Aetherbind is weakening and creatures of legend slip through the cracks between realms. Far beneath the myth-ridden peaks of Midst Fall, something ancient stirs—something that should stay buried.
DESIRES TANGLE
Caelora has spent years hunting the man responsible for her mother's death. The problem? He's an Elder—and her father. But vengeance was never going to be hers alone.
Kaden, the reckless healer whose easy charm masks deeper scars, refuses to let her face the dark alone.
And Jace, the stoic runemaster who once carried her to safety, won't let her fade into the shadows.
FATES UNRAVEL
As enemies close in and ancient magic stirs in her blood, Caelora must face a truth more dangerous than vengeance—she was never meant to disappear.
Because some things don't wither in the dark. They bloom.
*****
Don't miss the start of a new romance in the Fate of the Embered series—where vengeance, healing, and the fragile line between control and surrender collide.

About the author
Rowyn Adelaide
8 books183 followersRowyn Adelaide is an insatiable romance reader, advanced practice MSW social worker, and the author of the Fate of the Embered series. Her debut novel, Of Withering Dreams, launched the dark fantasy romance series with a haunting blend of passion and peril. Her work fuses atmospheric world-building with emotionally driven romance, often exploring themes of transformation, angst, and resilience. When she’s not writing or devouring stacks of romance novels, she’s usually globe-trotting, rocking out at concerts, counting down to spooky season, or singing karaoke (very poorly). She lives in the Midwest with her favorite creatures: her husband, their dog Audrey Shepburn (aka the goodest girl that ever lived), and their chaotic cat Stormy, who is equal parts villain and sidekick.

Review of advance copy received from Author
*I was given this book as an eArc but my review is based solely on my own thoughts and opinions*
While I own the first book, I have yet to read it. It had rave reviews. This was marketed as could be read as a standalone but suggests reading the first series beforehand. I went in not knowing at all about the world and what happened previously, wanting to see if it indeed could be read as a standalone. While the beginning brief recap and synopsis of the first series was helpful, I highly suggest reading the first series before this because I am lost. It feels like a sequel but a continuation of the first. While I can keep up on a good amount of things, I feel like I’m losing so much information. It’s kind of like reading sunrise of the reaping before reading the hunger games. Speaking of this reminds me a lot of that and like a mix between the matrix and the Witcher. It has major fantasy dystopian vibes which I’m here for.
It’s beautifully written and an engaging story. Although it is high fantasy, for me personally, I have trouble keeping up with aspects of the story. These types I enjoy but mainly like in shows or movies where it’s easier for me to understand. Nonetheless, it’s a very cool and fun concept. I like that there is some humor but not where it takes away from the story. One of my fav lines:
"He knows what it is. Tell him to finish it." He cocked his head to the side. "Before he finds something else to rune." Kaden chuckled. "Did you just make a pun, Aldric?"
Not sure how I feel about Jayce knowing Kaden when he was a kid. Give me weird vibes with a possible relationship for the future. I wasn’t expecting that big of an age gap. I don’t personally cause that’s just too big of an age gap.
3.5 stars

I really enjoyed. I went in blind (ARC read) but the recap the author provided before I got into the story was enough I was able to enjoy the journey. Well written, loved the characters. Can’t wait to read what happens next for “Lark” “Magister” and “Wraith” ❤️
