The crown comes first. The Icarians and the shape shifting Shadows of Firixina are two vastly different peoples sharing a single planet, each species raising their children to call the others monsters. But their queens have always broken their familial rules. Shadows can slip between dimensions, and Ixi spent her childhood waiting for Shallon’s next visit. They were friends brought together by curiosity turned to lovers torn apart when one’s mother murdered the other’s. Years have passed since a single act of violence separated them, and now that Ixi sits on the Icarian throne, a Shadow stalks her… watching and waiting. But she wears the scars that were required to earn her throne, and she knows that Shadows aren’t the nightmares her forebears claimed. When the Shadow allows her to plunge her chambers beneath the sea—trapping them together—Ixi discovers that the lover she lost returned to her. But for how long? The Two Queens of Firixina is a sapphic monster romance. Please check CW/TWs

Dalia Davies fell into monster romance—almost by accident—and loves it here. She drinks her weight in tea every day and has been told on numerous occasions that she “knows too much”. She pairs old gods, monsters, and aliens with human women who get exactly what they want and maybe a little more than they came for. Brought up on fairytales read while hiding in the back stacks of her small-town library and sneaking in creature features at friends' homes, she always wanted a way to meld two fantasies into one. When not writing, she plays the banjo poorly, dreams of traveling the world, and avoids large crowds and loud noises. Living in the southwestern US, she lets the outside heat permeate her stories and hopes they leave you panting. This is, of course, a pen name. It is one of many I write under.
