Romantasy — Not for the Faint of Heart

A competition to find the king's lost heir. A war fought by a woman soldier in disguise. A quest to escape a desolate land of sickness and unnatural beasts. The fiery protagonists of this romantasy panel adventure far and wide, questioning their judgments and learning to trust along the way. In Our Deadly Designs, the epic conclusion to Kalyn Josephson's This Dark Descent duology, spellbinding fantasy meets Jewish mythology in a cut-throat race for the throne ― and humanity's survival. The Night Ends with Fire by K. X. Song is another mythology-inspired novel based on the legend of Mulan, which follows a young woman's journey fighting a war between the Three Kingdoms and her conflicting feelings between two handsome princes and a sea dragon spirit. In The Last One, a romantasy debut from Rachel Howzell Hall, Kai wakes up in the woods with no memory and must accept the help of the village blacksmith to journey through the kingdom of Vinevridth in search of answers. Danielle DeVeaux will moderate this panel of best-selling authors whose enthralling novels prove time and time again that romantasy is not for the faint of heart.
