The Hunted Crossings

The Hunted Crossings is an interconnected adult romantasy universe built around conquest, binding, and the cost of crossing between realms ruled by incompatible laws. Each duology is designed to stand on its own, with complete emotional and political arcs, while contributing to a larger mythos that spans multiple worlds and regimes.

The series centers on women forced into the heart of political, magical, and bodily sovereignty, where crowns claim through ritual, blood, and marriage, and where survival often requires choosing between submission and annihilation. The realms are linked by ancient crossings, creature law, and power structures that treat women and worlds as exchangeable assets in larger wars for control.

Across the three planned duologies, the universe explores:

• Sovereignty versus possession

• Power disguised as protection

• Blood as contract, inheritance, and weapon

• The violence embedded in ritual and tradition

• Which monsters history chooses to crown

The Duologies

I. The Fractured Hollow

An adult romantasy duology following a woman branded “fractured” and exiled beyond the thresholds, bound to a king the world believes has no soul. As she uncovers the lie that built the regime and the power hidden in her blood, she must decide whether to submit to the crown’s design or dismantle the system that created it.

II. The Silk Synsath

An adult romantasy duology centered on a creature-born princess immune to extermination magic, caught between the conqueror who claimed her world and the radiant king who may erase it. Bound by ancient bargains written into her flesh, she must determine which ruler is the true architect of annihilation.

III. The Karaline Threshold

An adult romantasy duology about a woman bound by ritual to a reluctant king across a volatile threshold, where unstable magic and political resentment threaten to collapse the boundary between worlds.

***

Together, these standalone duologies form a larger arc about empire, resistance, and the reclamation of body, crown, and choice from systems designed to own them.

Planned as three interconnected adult romantasy duologies with overarching series potential.
