Chapter 24 of Bride of the Burning Throne is coming tomorrow! Sneak Peek:
Nirin returns to the table but does not sit. She remains near the window, giving me space without abandoning me to it.


I look at the folded letter. “She was meant to come here.”


Nirin’s expression changes by the smallest degree. “The other bride.”


“The intended one.”

Chapter 23 of Bride of the Burning Throne is coming tomorrow! Sneak Peek:
Kael speaks before I ask. “Home.”

On the following line, his voice joins theirs.

Hello loves! It's happening. Bride of the Burning Throne is on a good track so we are officially launching our new story tomorrow with 8!! chapters for you to binge!

With two stories, our schedule is going to be full. Bride of the Burning Throne will be updated on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Our new story will be updated Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. (Yes! I am leaving weekdays open in case I'd like to post another story.) That means you'll get two delicious chapters each Friday, Saturday and Sunday to read. 🔥

Have a sneak peek of the new story that will be appearing tomorrow! I hope you're as excited as I am!

I came home to watch Roman Keller put a crown on another woman’s head.



This wasn’t self-harm. I wanted that noted for the record.



My brother had asked me to come, and I’d had six years to get over the humiliating crush that ran my entire adolescence. I had a career, an apartment four hours south of Pine Creek territory, and a return ticket for Monday morning tucked into my wallet like a promise.



I could survive one weekend.



Probably.



The iron gates stood open at the edge of the mountain road. Beyond them, the forest rose in dark walls of pine and cedar, so familiar that my hands tightened on the wheel.



My wolf lifted her head for the first time in hours.



She knew where we were.



“Don’t start,” I muttered.

She ignored me. Wolves were excellent at that.

Chapter 22 of Bride of the Burning Throne is (finally!) coming tomorrow! Sneak Peak:

The woman who asked for the bread looks at the firewing in my hand. “From Tovan’s stall?”


I glance down at it. “He gave it to me.”


“Then he must like you. He does not give those away lightly.”

She says it without flattery or hidden meaning. Simply a conclusion. Before I can decide what to do with that, she nods toward the cooking plate.


“Do human markets have supper tables?”


“Some do. Not like this.” I look along the length of the table. Half the people seated here appear not to know one another, yet dishes pass easily between them. “We tend to keep to our own groups.”

Hi, loves!
I know it’s been a while since I posted an update, but I promise I haven’t disappeared.

I’ve been giving the opening chapters of Bride of the Burning Throne a serious polish while also building a large queue of upcoming chapters. That means the beginning is getting stronger, and there is already a lot more story waiting to roll out consistently.

Now that the queue is looking very healthy, I’m also starting to let a new story brew. Nothing is locked in yet, but it will most likely involve more dark romantasy, heat, yearning, and dangerously questionable decisions made in the name of love.

I’ve also finally joined Twitter/X! You can find me at https://x.com/authorlolaquinn, where I’ll be sharing story updates, snippets, romantic chaos, and whatever this new idea eventually becomes.
T
hank you for reading, waiting, commenting, and sticking with me.
There is so much more coming. 🔥

Chapter 21 of Bride of the Burning Throne is coming tomorrow! Sneak Peek:
“He’s trapped now.”


I glance toward the speaker. An elderly woman stands behind a nearby stall overflowing with woven baskets.


She follows my gaze toward Kael and shakes her head. “Poor boy.”


I blink. Poor boy. The future king of the demon kingdom is currently surrounded by soldiers, respected by the entire city, and capable of defeating most people with a sword. Yet somehow this woman has reduced him to poor boy in three seconds.

Chapter 20 of Bride of the Burning Throne is coming tomorrow! Sneak Peek:
A young merchant catches sight of Kael and immediately straightens. “My prince.”


Kael stops beside the stall. The merchant’s eyes shift toward me. For a moment, uncertainty crosses his face.


Then he reaches for a small pastry dusted with golden sugar and places it on a square of paper. “My lady.”

Chapter 19 of Bride of the Burning Throne is coming tomorrow! Sneak Peek:
A faint smile touches her face before disappearing. The rest of the preparations pass quietly. When she finishes, I study my reflection. The gown is elegant, but not in the way court dresses are elegant. It was made to be worn. To walk in. To move. The cloak fastened around my shoulders feels even more practical.


For the first time since arriving here, I look less like a bride and more like a person expected to exist beyond a ballroom. The realization is oddly comforting.
