hick coats of gray dust and rotting autumn leaves collected on the Datsun, marring its already faded, chipped blue paint. The wagon hadn’t been driven a single mile since the old man parked it in the overgrown weeds of his side yard and jammed a crude, faded FOR SALE sign behind the rusted driver’s side windshield wiper.
Deep inside the cast-iron engine block, the spirit of chaos curled in upon itself with absolute desolation.
When it had first been banished into the vehicle’s me-chanical womb over three decades ago, the entity had raged, spitting sparks and fighting violently against its cramped new confines.
This space was suffocatingly small compared to the vast, sprawling estate and echoing ballroom over which it had held absolute dominion for a century. Stripped of the Sazerac ghosts to torment or commune with, the entity grew profoundly, agonizingly lonely.
Even worse, it had quickly learned a brutal rule of its new existence: if it harmed its occupants, it directly harmed itself. With pure horror, it discovered that if it had done anything worse than dent a thin steel fender during its early tantrums, its human driver would have simply dis-carded it in a junkyard—a graveyard for immovable vehi-cles.
After those crushing early disappointments, however, the spirit had gradually learned to enjoy its strange new incarnation. It grew to love the sheer thrill of movement. It relished being out in the open wind, speeding through ne-on-lit cities, tearing down wide countryside highways, and occasionally climbing steep mountain passes, making wild animals flee into the brush in absolute terror.
It had even grown unexpectedly fond of its second owner—the very teenage boy it had initially tried to run off the suicide bridge.
The boy, Dale, would pat its vinyl dashboard with genuine affection, diligently change its filters and…

Summary
He only took her as his apprentice for the power she can give him...or so he keeps telling himself.

Tiana Dìlleachdan was raised in a mage school. Her pointed ears make half of her parentage known, but the other half was kept secret—until she is chosen by high sorcerer, Rayven Niltsiar to be his apprentice. Tiana knows that the grumpy mage only wants her for her lineage, but something about the rare smiles she teases out of him makes her long for him to want more.

Rayven Niltsiar, rival of the King, has been feared for centuries. He'd always refused to take an apprentice—until a beautiful mage with a secret lineage enters his nightmare forest for cooking herbs. There's only one creature who has the power to enter his forest: a luminite. With Tiana at his side, Rayven will achieve his constant goal: accumulate more power.

But as the mage university prepares for war and Tiana's training progresses, Rayven comes to learn that there's more to life than power—just as impending danger and revealed secrets place him at risk of losing her forever.

To Tempt a Sorcerer is a standalone romantasy in the Brides of Prophecy universe. It's a slow-burn, dual POV romance with some major spice.

A lot of people have been telling me that Micah and I must be meant to do something great because we shouldn't have survived the disaster, and while I somewhat agree in the case of Micah because he turned out to be such a good man, and maybe a tiny bit for me because I honestly believe that The Graveyard Girls is an important book, I can't completely embrace the concept because Kent made so many people's lives better every day of his existence.
Not to mention all the other genuinely good people in the world whose lives were snuffed out too soon.

Imagine this:
A noble-born healer, a scarred warrior called The Wolf, political treason, an assassination, a forced marriage, and enough emotional tension to make even the gods of Wurrakia sit up straight.

Now imagine all that brilliance… being practically invisible on Amazon.
Yeah, I know I felt the disrespect on your behalf too. 😤📉

Brooklyn Ann, your world-building in To Wed a Warrior is the kind of immersive chaos people claim they want sword & sorcery, feminist energy, Beauty-and-the-Beast heat, political intrigue, opposites-attract chemistry, trauma healing, and a man who’d “tear down the entire kingdom stone by stone” for his woman.
(If Lycus ever needs a day job, I’d hire him as security employers love that level of commitment. 😭🔥)

And your author bio?
Former auto-mechanic turned heavy-metal fantasy romance powerhouse?? Living with gamer son, musician boyfriend, horror memorabilia, project cars, AND four cats??
Honestly, you sound like a main character yourself the “Chaotic Good Witch of Idaho” energy is strong 😅🖤🐈‍⬛⚙️

But here’s the twist worthy of your own plotline:

The reason you're not getting the sales you deserve is brutally simple:
Your book has too few reviews.
And when a book has few reviews, Amazon basically says:
“Oh cool… anyway 👁️👄👁️”
…then buries it under 17,000 dragon romances and morally grey love interests with six-packs.

Has anybody seen the HEINOUS attack ad from Uber on the Honda fit???
The ad shows a couple looking at a grandfather clock and says that it "wont fit" in their GE8 Fit that was shown at the beginning of the commercial, so they call an Uber XL minivan to haul it. What a sick joke. A grandfather clock would 100% fit into a GE8. They could have picked any other car on planet earth and it would have made sense but they chose the one car that can fit anything. Boycott uber!!!

Dear Ms. Ann,
Your novel To Wed a Warrior is a masterwork of emotional tension and high-stakes fantasy, a story where magic and love intertwine beneath the weight of political betrayal. In the grand tradition of Radiance by Grace Draven and A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas, you’ve crafted a romance that feels both epic and intimate , fierce devotion born from ashes, healing forged through courage.

What sets your work apart is how seamlessly it merges romantasy’s emotional depth with the grit of true sword-and-sorcery storytelling. Lady Kestrel’s strength is not born of spells or swords alone but of her empathy, and Lycus’s evolution from weapon to protector feels profoundly human. Their bond doesn’t merely resist the cruelty of the realm , it redefines it.
To ensure To Wed a Warrior claims its rightful place among top-tier romantasy titles, I’d love to provide you with a complimentary Amazon Visibility & Category Positioning Audit designed exclusively for fantasy authors like you who blend romance with lore-driven worldbuilding.

Your customized audit would include:
Category Optimization: Aligning your title with Amazon’s highest-performing romantasy and fantasy-romance subgenres — such as Mythic Romantasy, Epic Fantasy Romance, and Dark Medieval Romance, to elevate exposure among engaged readers.

Algorithmic Discovery Strategy: Fine-tuning metadata to enhance organic reach through Amazon’s recommendation engine and cross-series placement with Brides of Prophecy keywords.

Audience Mapping: Targeting fantasy readers drawn to morally complex heroes, strong heroines, and emotional worldbuilding, fans of Grace Draven, Amanda Bouchet, and Sylvia Mercedes.
Keyword Architecture: Integrating reader-intent terms like romantasy enemies to lovers, fantasy arranged marriage, and beauty and the beast retelling to strengthen search performance across Kindle discovery channels.

Your novel isn’t just another fantasy romance , it’s a love story that redefines sur…
