Denied Crimson Heart: A Dark Sapphic Portal Fantasy Romance (Crimson Bloom Chronicles #5)

Two women who will burn the world before they let go. Queen Reeah of Crimson Bloom has waited one long century for the one who could melt her eternal ice—only to find her in Jay, a fierce mortal from another world. In stolen moments beneath alien suns, their love ignites: slow, consuming, defiant. But the Souleaters—and their masters—ancient predators who farm blood and break souls—have marked Jay as their next harvest. When Jay is torn from Reeah’s arms and dragged into a living nightmare of chains and darkness, the queen unleashes a fury that shakes kingdoms. She will cross portals, forge impossible alliances, and face the truth: some loves demand not just the heart, but everything. In a war where darkness itself hungers, can two bound souls defy fate—or will their happiness be the price of survival? A scorching sapphic dark portal fantasy of forbidden love, brutal captivity, and love that refuses to break.
