For She is Wrath (2024)
Emily Varga
"For She is Wrath is a brutally beautiful tale filled with sisterhood, romance, and above all: revenge. What a fresh, riveting fantasy."

Remind Me to Hate You Later (2023)
Lizzy Mason
"An important and heartfelt book that broke me apart and reassembled me, REMIND ME TO HATE YOU LATER is a timely, beautiful meditation on grief and the people left behind. I laughed, I sobbed, I loved it."

The Ivory Key (2022)
(Ivory Key Duology, book 1)
Akshaya Raman
"The Ivory Key has everything I want most in fantasy. It has a world so vivid and developed, I could taste the food and feel the magic weapons in my hand. It has flawed, developed characters I rooted for and cried beside. And it has a quest steeped in lore and mystery. Akshaya Raman is a new master of the genre to watch for."
