The gods never choose gently.
When the long-lost Moon-Crown awakens, it doesn’t choose a warrior or a queen—it chooses Liora, a healer’s apprentice who never wanted power. The crown promises salvation for her dying kingdom, but every time she wields it, a fragment of a dead god claws deeper into her soul.
Now hunted by an empire desperate to claim the artifact, Liora must turn to a dangerous stranger with secrets of his own. Dark, unpredictable, and impossible to ignore, he knows more about the crown’s curse than anyone alive… and swears he’ll end her life if she lets it consume her.
But the crown whispers of fire and ruin. Every battle fought—and every forbidden touch—pulls her closer to a fate she cannot escape, and a desire she cannot deny.
In a world where mercy is weakness and power demands sacrifice, Liora must decide whether to burn for the gods… or destroy them herself.
Perfect for readers of Fourth Wing and From Blood and Ash, The Moon-Cursed Crown launches a spellbinding romantasy duology of forbidden magic, enemies-to-lovers passion, and a heroine caught between her heart and her soul.
About the author
C. A. Varian
Born and raised in the heart of Louisiana’s Cajun Country, I write dark fantasy, paranormal, and alien romances—always with love at their core. My stories weave together mystery, magic, and raw emotion, pulling readers into worlds where passion and danger are never far apart.
When I’m not writing, I’m usually working on special editions of my books—complete with character art, swag, and all the little extras that make them treasures for my readers. I love connecting with fans through my TikTok shop, my website, and at events where I get to share the stories I pour my heart into.
A proud mother and new grandmother, I’ve faced my share of struggles, including a battle with chronic Lyme disease, but I refuse to let them define me. Writing is my escape, my passion, and my dream come true. With the support of my husband, Trevor, my daughters, Arianna and Brianna, my amazing assistant Jessica, and even my two youngest sisters who pitch in for the business, it’s truly a family affair.
Now back on the Gulf Coast to be closer to my family and my beloved grandson, I balance life surrounded by loved ones, two Shih Tzus, and three mischievous cats—all while creating stories that linger in the heart long after the last page is turned.
