About the house

Thirteen authors, thirteen lanes. Contemporary forbidden romance and romantasy. Psychological thrillers and literary mystery. Police procedurals and legal thrillers. Hidden-world, dark academy and epic fantasy. Quiet novels of dread. Cozy mystery. Space opera and hard science fiction. Historical fiction drawn from the record. Each name on our list writes one kind of book and keeps its promise on every page, so that a reader who picks up a second title by the same author knows exactly what they are holding.

The catalogue today is 24 titles. 7 are on sale; the rest are finished, with their covers and descriptions final, and are listed here as forthcoming until they go on sale. We do not announce a date we cannot keep.

A book you can finish. Our standalones end. Our series are written to a planned length by one author with the last book in view, and each volume is a complete movement of one closed arc. No cliffhanger is left hanging for a book that does not exist.

Honest copy. The description on a book page is the description on the book. The hook does not promise a chase the novel refuses to run; the categories point at the shelf the book belongs on. If a title is quiet, we say quiet. If there is no villain, we say so.

Fair play. Where a book is a mystery, the clues are on the page. Where it is a romance, the ending is guaranteed. Where it is fantasy, the magic has a price and the price is paid. Every author on this list states their rules in the open, on their own page, so you can hold them to it.

Our books are sold through Amazon, on Kindle and in paperback. Each book page on this site links to its live listing the day it goes on sale, and only then. A title without a link is not yet on sale, whatever else you may find under its name.

Stories that ignite. A nova is a star that flares, is seen, and is remembered. We publish the kind of book that does the same: read late, finished at dawn, and passed on.

Rights, press, permissions and anything that is not reader mail for one particular author come to the imprint. Every author reads their own mail at their own address.
