Everyone Deserves a World Worth Getting Lost In
Where Love Bends Fate and Magic Keeps the Score
Heir of Mist and Fire
Some stories aren’t written on paper. They’re written in blood, in prophecy, in the parts of ourselves we spend our whole lives trying to outrun.
Heir of Mist and Fire follows a heroine caught between two forces she never asked to carry: a bloodline that marks her for a throne she doesn’t want, and a pull towards someone she was warned to stay away from. As the mist thickens over a kingdom on the edge of war, she has to decide what she’s willing to burn down in order to protect the people she loves, and whether fate or her own heart gets the final say.
This is a story about power that isn’t always chosen, love that isn’t always safe, and the terrifying freedom of choosing yourself anyway.
Readers who love slow-burning tension, morally complicated characters, and a world where magic feels dangerous and alive will find a home here.
Meet the Women Behind the Magic
By day, Kristina is a registered nurse, wife, and mom. By night, she disappears into worlds built from magic and fate. She never planned on becoming a fantasy romance author, but a friend handed her a book one afternoon, changing everything. She read through it in a single sitting, then went looking for the next ones, and the next. She started fantasizing about stories that she wanted to read but didn’t exist… So, she started writing them herself.
Kristina lives on Maryland’s Eastern Shore with her husband, two kids, and two dogs who’ve made peace with the fact that mom talks to herself while plotting. Between school runs and work, she carves out quiet pockets of time to build kingdoms, break hearts, and put them back together in ways readers don’t see coming.
When she isn’t busy working or caring for her family, you’ll find her curled up with a book, usually something spicy, usually something that reminds her why she fell in love with the romantasy genre in the first place.
She writes for the readers who want more than a love story. She writes for the ones who want a world worth getting lost in.
