Nesta is tired. The inner circle is cruel. Cassian is useless. And eris knows Nesta deserves better. Maybe he can give it to her.

Magic smells of salt. Like ocean tides, it carries great balance. It wraps itself around the Spirit of the Wood, good and evil, love and hate, life and death. Can you smell it in the mist—in the Cards—in your own house?

Magic smells of salt.

Every Grace But Love

Bridgerton AU

Pairing: Nesta x Eris Summary: Eris Vanserra was a viscount and a notorious rake who, quite unexpectedly, announced his intention to find a wife this Season. Nesta Archeron was the eldest sister, already labelled a spinster, whose sole concern was her sister’s flawless debut and an advantageous match. And in her firm opinion, Viscount Vanserra is precisely the sort of man no respectable young lady should marry.

Lidiya Foxglove Standalones

These are set in the author's Hidden Lands universe, but no prior knowledge is needed. Each can be read on its own, but for chronological order : Doll Girl Meet Dead Guy takes place in the timeline before The Potion Dealers.

I gobbled up both books in a weekend, one right after the other, because I loved everything about them. Engaging writing made me laugh and comment out loud so many times. The world-building is unique, and it was interesting to see themes of class consciousness and the technological evolution from one book to the next. There is some clunky prose / dialogue here and there (and minor editing misses) but nothing that distracted me from the storyline and characters.

Where Lidiya Foxglove really shines as a writer is in characterization, from mains to side characters. Her protagonists are especially well-developed, giving you a good sense of them as people—their outlooks, desires, and insecurities. Something she does perfectly when it comes to romance is the understanding her couples have. Their love is believable because it comes from seeing one another, being right for each other in their personalities, and wanting to be there for the other come what may.

Doll Girl Meets Dead Guy

“Not everyone has to agree with you, but they do have to be worthy of your trust.”

“I'd guess the best thing you can do is just brighten your corner of the world, like you always do.”

DGMDG was my introduction to cozy romantasy and was the right combination of sweet and dark for my bittersweet taste. It was an instant favorite within the first 25%.

A hardworking living doll gets a huge opportunity for someone of her class—to lend her skills to the royal bakery in the capital. All she needs is a way there. Her ride? A former soldier returning home after being brought back from the dead, struggling with survivor’s guilt and his newly undead state. The result : Sunshine Girl and Goth Guy get off on the wrong foot, but come to rely on each other in uncertain times, through their changing lives. 

The Potion Dealers

“Vulnerability is a dangerous thing in this world,” he said. “The better you can control your emotions, the more likely you are to control everyone else’s as well.”

It seemed like a thought she had to confront within herself, that certain experiences would not be shared. There was nothing much to do with it. Just something to acknowledge and set free, a fluttering moth of a thought.

The Potion Dealers is a slice-of-life meets magical adventure. It has family drama, a crime syndicate underworld, and political intrigue in a modernizing fantasy setting. (My ebook says “Book One”, so I’m hoping another book is coming.)

The heir of a powerful city family seeks an isolated village witch. She is the only one who can lift a curse that has affected his family for generations. The only problem? It doesn’t feel like a curse to him. His blindness is a part of who he is. Regardless, he takes her back with him to Atlantis—because she longs for travel, to experience something new in life, and seeks the answers to family secrets. Together, they weather forces that would hold them back from their goals.

For @elucienweekofficial Day 1: Mates

And in the tangle of the Mother’s threads, like a seamstress’s unruly yarn, a weaver’s spool, with wild knots and coils and bunches, there can be a single string that stretches between two creatures, two of the Creator’s children. A bond that pulls at the rib, that nudges the mind and wraps around the heart and soul—fate tugs the creatures closer, connects the beings together, even with miles, worlds, lifetimes in between (Quote from ACOEAS)

Ramble and Timelapse below the cut!

I am SO SO PROUD OF THIS EEEEEE! I’ve been trying to practice portraits and detailed rendering and ugh this was so fun to do. I played around with the bond light thing A LOT and it was really annoying actually, same with Lucien’s face 😂 but I think it’s flawless actually

[spore-loser]

hi everyone!! i'm very happy you've all enjoyed my elucien pregame this year! i loved doing this and it truly was the most fun i've had in a while, so let's finish it off in style today!!

i present the final boss of sketch-a-day, or day #1 mates: 🌈 rainbow elucien 🌈

SJM once said that neither she nor Lucien saw Elain coming, but the story naturally led Elain and Lucien to one another.

Their mating bond was unexpected and remains unexplored, but there’s a golden thread tying them together. Their love will be a slow burn of blossoming buds, ivy breaking through brick, quiet but abundant.
