Summary: In the explosive second installment of The Heirs of the Shattered Veil, a would-be queen bound to the assassin sent to kill her infiltrates a treacherous royal court in a dark romantasy filled with slow-burn enemies-to-lovers yearning, fated mates, dragons, betrayal, and feminine rage.
“I am the Rupture. And I do not bow to the King.”
She was born to be a Queen. The world would kneel or break before her.
He bled for me. He swore he’d burn the world with me. And tomorrow, he marries her.
The bond was never supposed to survive the dead zone. I was never supposed to survive the bond.
But now my soul is tethered to the male who was sent to kill me—a connection so volatile it could kill us long before the king does.
I am wearing grey wool in a palace full of silk. I am six steps and one stone wall from the male who will not look at me in daylight, but finds my hand in the dark.
Surrounded by a court built on beautiful lies and a king who thinks suffering can be hidden if the right kind of body holds it…he thinks I’m his guest of honor.
He has no idea what I came to do.
“You wanted a monster. You made one. And monsters don’t stay caged forever.”

About the author:
To sum it up for my trope lovers:
Indie author in my villain origin story era. Morally gray FMC energy with a ‘knife-to-the-throat’ vibe and a “burn the world for the ones I love” devotion.
I’m now choosing sovereignty over compliance daily and I will not apologize for it or ask permission.
To my readers:
“Let them have their villain. I will be theirs and everyone else’s. But never for you.”
— Slade Ravinger
For those who enjoy diving deeper:
I’ll attempt to solidify some of the prominent experiences that contributed to the creation of this series:
Foundationally, I have formal education in the following: creative writing, screenplay writing, visual arts, philosophy, and political science.
Public exposure that has contributed: my experience in the music industry, experience as a professional screenplay writer and associate producer, a published author, and our favorite artistic ingredient: pain and suffering.
Internal world attribution: lineage-based tantra training, lineage-based shamanism guidance, traditional teacher training in Kundalini yoga, and lastly, I’ve landed in my home of Shaktism, with my beloved Kali Maa.
As you can imagine this catastrophic combination of experiences led to being: a full-blooded anarchist, painfully rebellious, a bleeding sensitive heart, magical af, reclusive, with a strong dose of feral.
And lastly, on a personal note: this series represents my coming into sovereignty and my liberation. I fought armies of inner demons to be here with you today.
I welcome you into my realm with open arms and heart offered freely. May you fall in love, may you cry, may you laugh, may your soul be reforged. May we taste unity and liberation for just a moment together as we co-create as reader and writer.
