The Paradox Accords is a layered two-book romantasy series  where forbidden bloodlines, ancient alchemy, and politics collide with a warrior’s deadly touch, making love the most dangerous magic of all.

The Paradox Accords is what they call the law of this realm.

But it’s not the only set of Accords…

Two. Technically it’s one book that this author cut in half.

As for the Realms of Paradox itself…

To truly immerse yourself in this world, start with:

• Book 1 – Awakened Ash and Alchemy
• Followed by Book 2 – Forged Feather and Flame

The Comparison Challenge:

It was hard to find a book within the romantasy genre where the heroine doesn’t do combat trials — where Angela fights with her mind in a courtroom instead of her body in an arena.

So what comes close…

Sarah J Maas – A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) for court-politics, fish-out-of-water vibe, and the romance.

Leigh Bardugo’s Grishaverse with Six of Crows for morally complicated characters, political stakes.

Rachel Gillig for gothic fantasy vibes like The Knight and the Moth and the Shepherd King Duology for unique magical systems, fleshed out side-characters, and digestible poetic prose.

Because it is one. A labyrinthine plot involves multiple intersecting story lines, meaning it’s layered.

This isn’t a quick, cozy read as it’s built to include ancient law, forbidden bloodlines, a hidden political order, and a love story that gets tangled up in all of it.

For lovers of intrigue, layered world-building, and scenes that have more than one meaning, this is designed to enjoy the hidden layers of this world.

Built to be re-read, it’s a story you’ll want to return to again and again.

It took this author 20 years to dust off this manuscript from the archives. Why? Because I didn’t think I had the world building skills to pull it off back then.

Today, that’s a different story, especially after writing 19 bestselling books in the same world.

Because Paradox is a magical world, you’ll find some new words not normally in the dictionary.

Find them in tucked away inside the books, or we can deliver the updated version to your inbox.
