Taming Malice
A princess born of light, a mortal made of fire, and a fae carved from shadow— one love destined to save her, another to destroy her.
Once upon a time…
Once upon a curse, a kingdom bargained with darkness.
To save a dying queen, a kindly fairy stole Selene’s Blossom—the last flower to bloom in the Abyssal Lands. The queen was healed, her daughter born beneath an omen of shadow and starlight. But when **Maleus**, the fae of malice and void, returns to reclaim what was his, he does not seek the flower—
He seeks the princess.
Hidden away by fairies of spring and light, Princess Lynneae grows up in secret, her life stitched together with lies and lullabies. There, she meets Rowyn, a mortal boy whose warmth defies her endless twilight. Their forbidden love blooms between realms—
until the sanctuary of light falls, and darkness comes to claim its due.
In Maleus’s realm of ash and desire, Lynneae must fight to keep her soul from unraveling, even as the shadow tempts her heart. Meanwhile, Rowyn ventures into the Abyss itself, ready to sacrifice his humanity for the one he loves.
A tale of obsession, defiance, and doomed devotion, ‘Taming Malice’ is a darkly seductive reimagining of Sleeping Beauty where love is a curse, salvation is a sin, and only those who surrender to the darkness can hope to survive it.
Welcome to ‘Taming Malice’, a dark romantic fantasy with erotic horror overtones. Inspired by a certain animated retelling of the fairytale “Sleeping Beauty”, ‘Taming Malice’ has one notable difference…
There will not be much sleeping for our beauty. That is for sure.
Due to the dark and erotic nature of ‘Taming Malice’, this will not be a free serialized novel. This will be available to premium subscribers.
However, for those premium subscribers, I plan on putting future serializations on Substack first before Kindle or KU, thus ALL future publications, from ‘Taming Malice’ to ‘Letters Between Sex and Violence vol. 4’ will be accessible for premium subscribers.
Not only that, but check out the following perks!
