S.L. Brown

2 booksHorrorThrillerMystery

S.L. Brown writes dark romantasy filled with folklore, magic, mystery, and the occasional monster that turns out to be far more complicated than it first appears. A registered nurse by profession and storyteller by passion, she has always been drawn to myths, tarot, ghost stories, and the spaces where the ordinary brushes against the impossible. Her stories blend fierce heroines, morally gray heroes, found family, and just enough romance to make things complicated. When she's not writing, S.L. can usually be found reading, exploring local legends, hunting for haunted places, or spending time with her husband, two dogs, and two cats in New Mexico. She believes every good story begins with a choice—and that magic is often hiding in the places people forget to look.

Forced into the night by a ghost who can inflict very real pain, Lila is dragged through a visceral journey of retribution.

Brown explores the thin line between love and obsession, proving that some vows are written in blood and can never be broken.

In the secluded valley of Hollowmere, Eira Ashwood is a savior. As a healer who pours her own life force into others, she believes her magic makes her indispensable—and therefore, loved.

Despite their clashing worlds, an undeniable and forbidden passion ignites between the priest and the healer, leading to a secret encounter that defies their sacred vows. When a brutal winter descends and a deadly plague takes hold, Eira gives everything to save her people. But when she is left too weak to save a single child, the gratitude of the valley curdles into fear. Accused of witchcraft and abandoned by the man she thought loved her, Eira must face a devastating truth: the community she bled for will always choose their own safety over hers.
