I’m so excited to finally share the cover with yall… and I might actually cry 😭✨ (Again)

This is the cover for my The Seer’s Blessing deluxe omnibus edition, and it’s everything I dreamed of and more 🥹🥹

This project has been such a leap for me: bigger, scarier, and more meaningful than anything I’ve done before. Seeing it come to life like this feels surreal.

If you love fantasy romance, magic, and stories that stay with you, I would love for you to follow along with this Kickstarter 💛🔮

Your support (even just a follow!) helps make this real.

Kings Kiss was dark, moody, and deliciously spicy. Hands down, this is my new favorite Beck Michaels book… I just wanted it to keep going on forever! 🌶️🖤🥀 Happy RELEASE day, @beck_michaels 🖤🫶🏻✨📖

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

King’s Kiss is a dark and delicious Sleeping Beauty retelling set in a kingdom trapped in time under a curse, where the God of Shadows is given a second chance to save his bride.

Each book in the Chronicles of Urn series is a standalone. Readers may also enjoy King’s Bride, the frosty Beauty and the Beast retelling of the God of Death and the bride determined to kill him.

Perfect for readers who love:
👑 Fairytale retellings
⚔️ Obsessive, devoted villains
🌹 Forbidden magic and slow burn kisses
✨ Sacrifice, shadows, and redemption
