Two monsters. One ruined crown. Zero chance of walking away clean.
Smoke wants to get back to Faery to fight and die with some dignity. Haze has other plans, which mostly involve watching Smoke.
Stuck on the run with no allies and a court out for blood, the two of them can’t stop circling each other like wolves, teeth bared and hearts already broken.
But ancient gods are waking up hungry.
When power begins to rot in the heart of Faery and ancient magic claws its way back into the world, the two of them are thrust into the center of a war they can’t outrun.
New enemies want them dead. Old gods want them crowned. And Smoke? Smoke just wants to feel something sharp enough to be real.
Crown of Smoke is a queer, blood-slicked fantasy full of feral romance, twisted magic, and the slow-burn disaster of two monsters who can’t stop orbiting each other—no matter how much it hurts. Themes include murder, violence, and adult situations.
This adult book is not suitable for readers under 18. Please check the Reader's Advisory before reading.
Sloane Sabel writes like a sinner with ink-stained hands and blood on her lips. Her stories are fever-dream romances where monsters seduce, the shadows bite back, and desire always comes with teeth. Queer, kinky, and unrepentantly dark, she drags her readers into the underworld and dares them to beg for more.
When she isn’t weaving tales of obsession and ruin, she’s haunting playlists, drinking too much tea, and whispering to the moon. Her work isn’t for the faint of heart—it’s for the ones who crave ruin, ache for monstrosity, and know love is always sharper when it draws blood.
