Carrion Saints

<p><strong><em>Now reach back she said and tear off your wings.</em></strong></p><p></p><p><strong><em>Carrion Saints</em> is a sapphic enemies-to-lovers romance between an immortal saint and a severed head.</strong></p><p></p><p>Crow can pass for human. She may come off as eccentric but she's good at hiding her wings. As a saint she's devoted her endless life to protecting humanity from other immortals: the ones they call monsters. She's finally ready to take on the worst monster of all a great evil sealed at the edge of civilization.</p><p></p><p>Magnolia is the worst monster of all. A villain who amuses herself by preying on valiant heroes. At first glance she looks powerless. She looks in fact like a decapitated head (a very chatty one). But her magic lets her issue absolute commands to humans and immortals alike. She's been waiting centuries for a challenger powerful enough to break the seal binding her in the wilderness. In other words she's been waiting centuries to magically seize control over someone like Crow.</p><p></p><p>Crow has always been patient and forgiving. Sadistic remorseless Magnolia awakens new depths of loathing in her-a hatred of frightening intensity. And now she's forced to use her full power to grant Magnolia's one heartfelt wish: to see the rest of the world. To make up for all the years she spent trapped alone with only trees for company.</p><p></p><p>What follows is an ultra slow-burn romance between true enemies. Between good and evil. Between a winged woman and a talkative severed head (who occasionally sprouts the rest of her body just to keep things lively). They travel together across a post-apocalyptic landscape marked by strange magic and scattered human settlements. Yet the apocalypse happened a long time ago and eons will pass before their gradually fading world dies for good.</p><p></p><p>In the meantime these immortals are stuck with each other. <strong>Even a saint and a monstrous villain might eventually fall in love-but the path there will be dark crooked and sometimes surprisingly cozy.</strong></p><p></p><p><em>This standalone fantasy novel can be read without prior knowledge of the author's other work.</em></p>
