One day I hoped we'd all dream when we wanted to. I didn't realize then that nightmares could be mistaken for dreams. And by the time you realized what was happening, it was already too late.

Of Withering Dreams

by Rowyn Adelaide

The Dormancy was meant to be the mortal realm’s salvation. From autumn to spring, citizens are forced into a magical slumber to conserve dwindling resources. The divine Ancients vanished long ago, leaving humanity under the merciless rule of the Elders. These ruthless oligarchs preach one motto: “Through Dormancy, we blossom!” But the land is dying, people are disappearing, and hope is unraveling.

For Seryn, this Dormancy will change everything. Upon waking, she realizes nothing is as it should be—and discovers her hidden identity as a magic-wielder. As the threads of reality fray, she learns her abilities are unusual. Unpredictable.

While her inherited powers bloom, so do her desires for her charming best friend, Kaden. Their bond has always been unshakable. She wouldn’t dream of risking their friendship—but the Fates can’t be bothered with mortal dreams.

Navigating a treacherous path where dreams and nightmares blur, Seryn must confront haunting truths. Her newfound courage and magic might be the key to saving her realm, but will they be enough when even dreams can wither into oblivion?

“…this was a book I could NOT put down. The ending left me completely enamored and ready to learn what comes next. I absolutely MUST know what happens to the characters in the coming books, and I can’t wait to have all the unanswered questions explored and answered throughout the rest of the series!”  – El J.

“This book is pure magic—lush, haunting, and totally gut-wrenching in the best way.” 
-Unleishd

"Isn't it incredible that something so vulnerable can survive - can find the strength to grow even when the world is crumbling around it?"

Meet Rowyn!

Rowyn Adelaide is an insatiable romance reader, advanced practice MSW social worker, and the author of the Fate of the Embered series. Her debut novel, Of Withering Dreams, launched the dark fantasy romance series with a haunting blend of passion and peril. Her work blends atmospheric world-building with emotionally driven romance, often exploring themes of transformation, angst, and resilience.

When she’s not writing or devouring stacks of romance novels, she’s usually globe-trotting, rocking out at concerts, counting down to spooky season, or singing karaoke (very poorly). She lives in the Midwest with her favorite creatures: her husband, their dog Audrey Shepburn (aka the goodest girl that ever lived), and their chaotic cat Stormy, who is equal parts villain and sidekick.

Book Two Launches July 17th!

Of Blooming Embers

by Rowyn Adelaide

As Seryn pieces together long-lost memories, twisted dreams reveal truths more dangerous than the nightmares she once feared. Forced to flee, she joins Gavrel on a desperate search for answers about those she loves and the mysterious power coursing through her veins.

Although Seryn can’t forget how Gavrel once ripped their budding love from the roots, the feelings they once shared refuse to stay buried. But his secrets still linger—truths that could shatter what remains of her trust.

Whispers of rebellion rise, and stunning prophecies take root. Seryn never asked to be a pawn in Fate’s cruel game. But if she refuses, the mortal realm will perish.

In a decaying world where lies masquerade as truth and power demands sacrifice, Seryn must reclaim the shattered pieces of herself before fate ravages their world. Because once you breathe life into ember, the inferno doesn’t just burn the wicked—it consumes everything.

"The dawn does not fear the night. For it knows both light and shadow are needed - the balance protected."
