I am looking for fans of romantasy who may be interested in a story that goes beyond romance, with an emphasis on healing through trauma, and finding a sense of belonging.

BLURB
Freedom isn’t found in escape—it’s forged in transformation.
Naomi learned early that survival meant erasing herself. Trapped in an abusive relationship, she seizes an unexpected fortune as her only chance to disappear—cutting ties and fleeing toward a life she hopes will finally be her own.
She finds refuge in Nev, a windswept island where the salt air offers space to breathe and the fragile promise of belonging. But safety is temporary. Drawn to Romero—an enigmatic man with ties to Kedar, a country steeped in danger—Naomi feels something awaken beneath her skin, instinctive and unsettling.
As Naomi begins to rebuild, she sees patterns that can no longer be denied. She’s cursed and it’s thriving on her silence, suffering, and submission.
Love will not shield her from it. Distance will not weaken it. And every attempt to outrun her past only tightens the curse’s grip.
To claim a future of her own, Naomi must stop running and uncover the truth of who she is—even if embracing it means stepping willingly into the shadows she fears most.
Salt and Shadow: Legend of a Cursed Bloodline is an urban romantasy about survival, found family, and the cost of becoming who you choose to be.
