I have mostly read Romantasy like Acotar, The Plated prisoner series etc but dark romantasy done right, is my new favourite thing!

Like The Seventh Painted Bride by @oathsterling! It is so dark and brutal but also lovely and mysterious and utterly devestating and mind blowing with twist and turns through it all!

Do you want to be mind blown not once, not twice, not ecen just thrice but multiple times?

Read this book - It releases November 20th!

And the art? Exceptional❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

A new series by OATH STERLING is launching on the 20th of November.

The Seventh Painted Bride is a dark romantasy featuring a forced marriage, enemies to lovers, a morally gray prince, a devastating love triangle, blood magic, ancient monsters, hidden kingdoms, forced proximity, and the reminder that some kingdoms aren't worth saving.

In Kartham, monsters are hunted, hidden kingdoms are destroyed, and every generation one woman is sacrificed so the rest can survive. Six already have. Esvial Aravell was never supposed to be the seventh.

A bastard with no title, no standing, and no interest in becoming a martyr, she should never have been chosen. But when her bloodline is declared the last capable of completing the sacrifice, she is painted in pink and imprisoned in a palace where monsters wear crowns and no one is ever quite what they seem.

The prince destined to perform her death rite was never supposed to want her to live. The man she loves was never supposed to become engaged to her greatest enemy while she rots beneath the palace. And the tyrannical king who sleeps was never supposed to outlive her.

But Esvial has survived worse than monsters. She can survive this too.

Probably.

Get ready.... pre-order yours now...

Some books lure you in with their tropes. Others make you question EVERYTHING you thought you knew. 👀🖤

The Seventh Painted Bride by @oathsterling did BOTH.

So tell me, what would make you immediately add this book to your TBR?

Coming November 20, 2026!
