Greetings Hoarders and Adventurers,

Welcome to "Relics of Ruin" - fantasy pins inspired by the grimdark epic romantasy novel I am currently writing (currently writing book 4, the last one in the series, and it's already over half a million words!). 

And you get to decide which relic we discovered on our adventure first. Just vote in the poll below. 

With each relic revealed, I will share some lore and quotes from the book. Each poll will last about 3 days, and between the polls I will share some character art and more about the books which inspired the relics in the first place! I will also share behind-the-scenes videos and progress art, showing how the relics came to be and I hope you will enjoy this journey with me as we dive into one of my favourite books I have ever written, and the art which came from it! 

(You might recognize the relic 😘)

A cursed, outcast dwarven warrior and her fae heartmate must confront the resurrected evil threatening the world and each other, journeying through trauma, divine manipulation, and war to forge both magic and meaning in a land shaped by ancient betrayal. To save their found family and prevent the world’s destruction, they must master powers linked by love, rage, and forbidden song while wrestling with hope, fate, sacrifice, and their own brokenness.

'Resonant Rage' is set in a violent, grimdark, epic-fantasy world filled with monsters and danger around every corner and found-family vibes like the 'Witcher' (Netflix). With gothic atmospheric tones, political corruption, an "undead" army, romance, morally grey heroes, and stakes where winning a war blurs the lines between morality, trauma, personal sacrifice, and the greater good like 'Alchemized', by Senlin Yu. And the complex characters and sisterly struggles like 'Arcane' (Netflix).

Content warnings: Please note this is an unpublished series, and have not been professionally edited as I am writing the entire series before publishing. So there may be spelling and grammar errors. 'Resonance & Ruin' is both a spicy romance and a GRIMDARK fantasy intended for ADULT READERS 🔞 (a pitch black world like 'Game of Thrones' with allmost all the trigger warnings - so be sure to heed those listed at the beginning of the book.)

Love the story enough to read more now? Book 1, "Resonant Rage" is "published" to my Patreon and available in my Legacy Muse tier! (PS: When you click this link you get 1 month FREE to my Naughty Muse tier if you are new to my Patreon!)

Thank you for being here and supporting my art! I can't wait to see which relic you choose first!

Yours in art,
Therena

I love dark romantasy, the spicier and more emotionally ruinous the better. I love worlds that devour characters like a snack and characters who give me all the feels. I love ugly crying when characters experience things that make me feel. The most recent book that did this was "Deathball". Though I don't have a favourite book or author since it always changes and I have too many. ^_^
