I’m Laura R. Samotin, a queer author of dark fantasy, speculative romance, and dark academia for adults. Here’s my current catalogue:
Dark Fantasy
The Sins On Their Bones is book 1 in the Cursed Crown duology and is out now! It’s the story of two ex-husbands on opposite sides of a civil war, fighting over the same throne, with a very daring (and very handsome) spymaster caught in the crossfire.
The second and final book in the series, The Lure of Their Graves, is publishing worldwide on June 3, 2025.
You can order SINS here and you can preorder LURE here 🖤.
Dark Academia
