The Heart of The Series: Romance, Magic & Found Family
What will keep you turning pages long into the night?
The emotional heart of The Lost Shrines series goes beyond its magical world and these are just a few of the things that make it an unforgettable reading experience:
Forbidden Love & Magical Moon Bonds
Each couple in The Lost Shrines series must navigate the challenges of their unexpected bond while facing external threats that test their commitment.
The moon-bond creates connections that transcend ordinary love, binding souls together in ways that challenge and transform them. Each couple faces unique obstacles—from mistrust and family obligations to past traumas and sacred duties. Yet their chemistry ignites the page with sweet, closed-door romance that focus on the emotional journey of falling in love while honoring ancient legacies and personal values.
Magic That Transforms
In this world, magic isn’t just about power—it’s about growth. Each heroine has to fully embrace her magical gifts and, in the process, fully embrace her true self, as well.
As they connect with their magical birthright, each one discovers strengths they never knew they possessed.
Whether it’s Lia’s protective abilities, Yve’s leadership magic, Selena’s fierce guardian energy, or Tara’s healing touch, these women find that their greatest strength comes from accepting who they truly are.
Through trials and triumphs, each woman learns that their unique abilities aren’t burdens to bear, but gifts to cherish.
Families Forged in Fire
Beyond blood ties lie the families we choose. Throughout the series, characters form unbreakable bonds with those who understand and accept them completely.
From Caerwyn and his foster brothers to Selena’s band of misfit brigands, these found families provide the support, love, and belonging that enable our heroes and heroines to face impossible odds. Proving that sometimes the strongest connections are those we forge ourselves.
As characters face betrayal and discover unexpected allies, they learn that true belonging comes not from where you were born, but who stands beside you when darkness threatens.
