Not a romantasy - a dark fantasy with romance and spice 🌶️

Four reasons romantasy booktok will hate this series: 1. It’s dark fantasy where everyone is lying. 2. The yearning is so painfully long stretched across a dystopian Viking vampire world. 3. It’s based on Vikings and Dracula, not a list of tropes. 4. There’s intense mystery & mythology.

Dear booktok, picture this: He’s a Viking vampire & the trope is just like that in Dracula, a Love Tale. She’s the one chosen by the gods to *destroy* him. But this isn’t their first life together, & as much as the gods want to keep them from remembering... Love never forgets.
