Dark, slow-burn fantasy romance about women who refuse to be sacrificed, and the dangerous men they choose.
The Tithe of Embers: Darker
She came up the mountain to kill a god. He showed her exactly where to put the knife.
Eleanor Vantry is a Lowtier thief with four minutes of breath and a blade hidden in her wedding binding. She has been sent north as the twelfth bride of the Hearthlord of Kilnhold, the man who carries the fire-god that stole her kingdom’s rain. Her task is to end him.
Calder has buried eleven brides in three hundred years. No one else can touch him without being burned. Then she lays her bare palm on his heart, and he flinches, because nothing has touched him gently in decades.

Marisol Graves
Marisol Graves writes dark, slow-burn fantasy romance about women who refuse to be sacrificed, and the dangerous men they choose on their own terms.
The stories begin where love is least safe: a wedding with a blade hidden in the binding, a hearth that burns every hand but one, a bond that carries every heartbeat and every flare of want from one body to the other. The heat arrives slowly, and when it does, consent is spoken aloud on the page every time.
