Jennifer Delaney joins us to discuss her debut Romantasy novel Tales of a Monstrous Heart - described as a "gothc, cosy, Dark Academia fantasy..". Megan Scott's latest novel - the first in a new series - is "The Temptation of Magic" -perfect for fans of luxurious forbidden romance novels.

Tales of a Monstrous Heart - Be careful of the dark and those that call it friend.'

Katherine Woodrow is fey, and all she wants is to graduate from the Institute of Magic. But when the prejudiced mortal council threaten her position at the institute, she is left with only one option: accept a Mage Partnership with the elusive Lord Blackthorn.

Emrys Blackthorn is a riddle Kat is fearful of solving. The mysterious, cursed war hero with his stormy eyes and unpredictable ways leaves Kat with more questions than answers. What she does know is that she is irresistibly drawn to him . . . no matter how forbidden it might be.

When a string of murders and fey disappearances herald the return of dark magic, Kat and Emrys are thrown into a world of ancient books that hide hideous monsters, dark fiends who play with nightmares and mortal men who wish nothing more than to see them both burn.

But what haunts them both are secrets even ghosts dare not whisper, while insidious shadows lick their teeth and sharpen their claws, waiting for the moment that all tales will come to light - even the monstrous ones.
The Temptation of Magic - He was an Empyreal, her greatest threat, her greatest fascination. Everything she’d been warned against. And yet she wanted him, still.

As an Empyreal, Nicole has the ability to K*ll any deadly supernatural. But if her power ever awakened, the Wake—the organisation that governs supernaturals—would force her to be their loyal huntress. Or K*ll her, like they did her mother.

To stay safe, Nicole hides in a small university town, convinced the mythological art collection at a local manor contains a final message from her mother. But before she can study it, Kyan McCarter, the Wake’s most skilled Empyreal, arrives on his own hunt. When they discover his prey has stolen a painting for leverage, they’re forced to work together.

As the creature threatens to expose Nicole’s powers, her tenuous alliance with Kyan threatens her heart. If her true identity is revealed, Kyan will hunt her next. No one disobeys The Wake and survives. Especially when the art they’re seeking unveils a conspiracy that would change the lives of creatures and humans forever. . .

But Nicole may only be able to resist one: her wicked impulses, or a love that could repaint their world.

And after a life of hiding her true nature, who could resist the temptation of magic
Join us for what promises to be a fabulous evening, perfect for all fans of dark Romanatsy. The talk will be followed by an audience Q&A and a book signing.
