Why The Hollow Queen Isn’t Your Average Romantasy
You’ve read the tropes.
You know the drill.
A feisty heroine. A morally gray man. Banter. Blushing. A vaguely medieval world where no one seems to know how to use a sword—or speak like they didn’t just leave a Starbucks.
Romantasy is everywhere now. And while the surge of magic and romance has opened doors, it’s also left a lot of readers hungry for something deeper.
If you’ve ever wished for a romantasy that feels more like gothic scripture than gossip…
Welcome to The Hollow Queen.
Author’s note: This image cracks me up. Leila giving the side-eye to a stereotypical romantasy heroine. Not hating…but I think Leila is.
🖤 The Writing is Dark, Elegant, and Sharp
This series does not read like a group chat.
There’s no quirky inner monologue about snacks.
There are no sudden nicknames, no spontaneous girlboss lectures.
Instead, there is prose that drips like candle wax—slow, sensual, and meant to make you feel dangerous for loving the characters as much as you do.
The language doesn’t flinch.
It trusts you to keep up.
And it’s beautiful even when it bleeds.
👑 The Heroine is Not Your Friend
Leila Morana isn’t here to be relatable.
She isn’t soft, awkward, or fumbling through her destiny.
She’s sharp. Appraising. Vicious when she needs to be.
She was born cruel—and power only made her worse.
Or better.
You don’t root for her because she’s nice.
You root for her because she knows what she is—and dares the world to kneel.
🔥 The Romance is Complex—and Obsessive
Yes, there are love interests. Multiple.
Yes, there is sex. Intense, sacred, ruthless sex.
But these are not simple happily-ever-afters. These are men with teeth—who worship, possess, betray, and break. And Leila is not passive in any of it. She chooses them. Uses them. Marks them. Loves them, maybe. Destroys them, possibly.
Desire is a weapon in this world. And no one is safe from it.
🩸 The Story is Character-Driven, Not Trope-Dependent
You will not find a checklist here.
There is no one-note “chosen one.”
No enemies-to-lovers that wraps up with a neat bow.
No forced proximity that reads like a rom-com in a dungeon.
Instead, you’ll find slow evolution.
Dangerous transformation.
A queen who becomes divine, and the men who burn for her—or because of her.
In Short:
The Hollow Queen is for you if:
- You want a story that reads like dark prophecy and poetic ruin.
- You crave multiple love interests who are each dangerous in different ways.
- You’re tired of fantasy that sounds like it was written for TikTok.
- You believe power and love aren’t opposites—but mirrors.
- You want a heroine who takes what she wants and never apologizes for it.
If that’s the story you’ve been waiting for…
You’re not alone.
You’ve just been waiting to kneel.
For a release date, I’m looking at early December. I actually have the preorder set up an Amazon currently, if you’re already sold. 🙂
