This Fatal Kiss

A haunting, romantic YA fantasy inspired by Slavic folklore. Gisela, once a drowned girl and now a cursed water-nymph, longs to reclaim her humanity with a mortal’s kiss. When a failed exorcism forces her into an uneasy alliance with Kazik — a spirited, magic-less witch-hunter — the two strike a deal that entangles them in dangerous secrets, unexpected longing, and a beautifully complicated queer love triangle. Lush, atmospheric, and brimming with dark fairytale magic.

Genre: Young adult fantasy / Folklore-inspired Romantasy / Fairytale

Recommended age: 14+ ideal for teens and up who enjoy magical realism, folklore, and slow-burn romantic tension.
