The Ashen Vow
Some bonds are written in blood.
Others are written in ash.
In the dead lands of Velmara, where the boundary between the living and the forgotten has begun to crumble, a Gravekeeper bound by an ancient oath is drawn into a darkness she was never meant to uncover.
A gothic romantasy of forbidden vows, dark magic, and a slow-burn love that may cost everything.
Olivia Ravenshaw
I write gothic romantasy where love is dangerous, magic remembers, and the dead do not always stay silent.
I'm drawn to stories filled with forbidden vows, ancient secrets, dark magic, and romances that take their time—and leave their mark.
If you're drawn to haunted worlds, complicated characters, and romances that take their time, you've found the right place.
ENTER THE WORLD OF VELMARA
The dead lands are not empty.
In Velmara, the boundary between the living and the forgotten is beginning to crumble.
Gravekeepers tend the dead. Wraith Lords haunt what remains. Ashbinders wield a magic few dare speak of.
The Still remembers what the living have forgotten.
Step Into the Ashen Vow
Enter Velmara, where forbidden vows, dark magic, and a love that defies the dead await.
The Raven
Chronicles
Some stories are meant to be read. Others are meant to be whispered about.
Step beyond the pages and into the shadows.
The Raven Chronicles is where I share the things that don't always make it into the books—behind-the-scenes glimpses, secret lore, writing updates, glimpses of what's coming next, and occasional treasures from the world of Velmara.
Join the chronicles and be among the first to hear when new stories, special editions, reader extras, and other dark little secrets emerge from the shadows.
A letter from the shadows, whenever there is something worth whispering.
