The Red of Blood and Roses is a dark fantasy adventure series told through multiple points of view, weaving together a world of magic, danger, and intrigue.

Rich in dark themes, an atmosphere of mystery and foreboding, and mature storytelling, the series explores both the beauty and brutality of its fantasy world.

Content Advisory: This series is intended for adult readers and contains mature themes, including graphic violence, strong language, sexual content, drug and alcohol use, and depictions of war. Reader discretion is advised.

Some worlds are better left forgotten. Some truths are too dangerous to uncover.

Colton and Evelyn never believed in magic, monsters, or worlds beyond their own. But when they're ripped from their ordinary lives and thrown into the breathtaking yet merciless realm of Ioretha, everything they thought they knew begins to crumble.

Here, ancient secrets threaten to rewrite the history of humanity itself. Kingdoms stand on the edge of war, powerful forces stir in the shadows, and an evil long thought forgotten is preparing to unleash its wrath upon all existence.

With enemies lurking behind friendly faces and betrayal waiting around every corner, the line between good and evil has never been more dangerous to cross.

And at the heart of it all stand two unlikely souls: a frightened girl who would rather save a life than take one, and a boy so broken by the world that he isn't sure whether or not humanity is even worth saving.

Neither was born to be a hero. Neither asked for this fate.

But when the darkness comes for every living soul, even the unwilling must decide what is worth saving.

And some choices will cost far more than blood.

Put a Face to the Name

Have you ever wondered whether the characters you imagine while reading look anything like the ones the author sees in their mind?

After all, descriptions like blonde hair, brown eyes, or a tall figure can inspire countless different faces. Wouldn't it be fun to see the characters as their creator imagined them?

Well, Danielle thought so too! That's why these character portraits were created - to give readers a glimpse of the faces behind the names.

You might even spot a few unfamiliar faces along the way! Don't worry, though. Some characters won't make their appearance until later in the series. Keep reading, and you'll meet them soon enough!
