Miasma
What if déjà vu was the world giving you another chance?
Miasma is a character-driven fantasy adventure that follows Piper, a young woman forced into hiding after her mother is executed for using forbidden spirit magic. Years later, Piper lives under an assumed identity, keeping her own dangerous abilities concealed—until her partner, Celene, an exiled princess of the fallen kingdom of Stromst, is called back home.
As tyranny tightens its grip on Stromst, the two are drawn into a desperate mission alongside a reluctant ally, Alex. What begins as a rescue quickly unravels into something far more dangerous, exposing a regime built on the exploitation of spirit users and a royal family fractured by power.
When their first attempt ends in tragedy, Piper is given an impossible second chance—returned to the beginning with no clear memory, but a growing sense that something is deeply wrong. As events begin to shift, Piper must navigate fear, loss, and the limits of her own power to change a fate that refuses to stay buried.
Blending political intrigue, romance, and a layered magic system, Miasma explores sacrifice, identity, and the cost of rewriting destiny.
Fast-paced, heartfelt, and filled with adventure, Miasma is a gripping young adult fantasy about courage, loyalty, and love that refuses to fade.
Perfect for readers who love:
Fierce YA heroines
Found family and established relationships
LGBT+ representation
Emotional coming-of-age journeys
If you love Throne of Glass and character-driven YA fantasy with heart, step into a world where every choice matters — and nothing is quite as it seems.
Death is only a checkpoint. Love is eternal.
A fast-paced, atmospheric read you can finish in an afternoon

Awesome debut novel!
A genuinely enjoyable read with a really unique premise centred around the idea that déjà vu gives you a second chance, made it feel intriguing from the start.
I especially loved Alex’s character growth throughout the story, and found myself craving even more of Celene and Piper’s lore because it felt like there were so many layers still waiting to be uncovered (I can only imagine Celene’s family trauma 👀).
Also… totally clocked that one character (iykyk) was acting suss, so the payoff for that reveal was absolutely *chef’s kiss*
