Melodies of Darkness

by Raine Kris

Overview

In the captivating romantasy series "Divine Shadows," the first book titled "Melodies of Darkness" introduces readers to Serenity, a Nerix who grapples with an age-old curse of bloodlust inflicted upon her people by a vengeful ancient god. Serenity's quest for liberation and redemption begins as she crosses paths with a dark and enigmatic male companion, whose brooding presence ignites an intense and unwelcome attraction within her.

Together, they embark on a perilous journey across various mystical realms, driven by a singular goal: to confront and dethrone the formidable God of Gods, whose tyranny casts a shadow over all existence. As Serenity battles against time and her growing bloodlust, she must also navigate the burgeoning, complex emotions she feels for her mysterious ally.

The stakes are high, and the path is fraught with danger, but Serenity's resolve to free her people and the realms from the god's oppressive rule propels her forward. Will she conquer the darkness before it consumes her, or will the curse claim her soul?

"Melodies of Darkness" weaves a tale of love, sacrifice, and the relentless pursuit of freedom in a world where shadows hold ancient melodies and destinies are forged in darkness.

About the Author

Raine Kris is a breakout indie author whose debut novel has captivated readers in the ever-growing Romantasy genre. A lifelong storyteller, Raine has spent years writing short stories filled with magic, longing, and fierce heroines-quietly building worlds that lived only in her notebooks and imagination. Though writing was always a part of her life, she kept her work private, uncertain if her stories were meant to be shared.

That changed when Raine took a leap of faith and self-published her first novel, marking her official entry into the world of published authors. Her work blends lush fantasy settings with deeply emotional romance, earning her praise for rich worldbuilding, slow-burn tension, and characters who feel heartbreakingly real.

Based in South Florida, Raine writes surrounded by the hum of ocean breezes and summer thunderstorms-elements that often find their way into her stories. With her debut now in readers' hands and more stories on the horizon, Raine Kris is a fresh, bold voice in Romantasy---and she's just getting started.
