The song of the marked

⚔️ Fantasy romance book recommendations! This Deceit of Ours kept me up all night, I read it in one go (Sersa and Nessin 🫠) The Song of the Marked has the best banter, and the spice is chef's kiss 👌. It's a real page-turner! The Ever King has pirates, sirens, AND fae... it's so good. I can't even pick a favorite character, I fell in love with all of them. #books #book #reading #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #fantasyromance #booknerd #bookworm #bookrecommendation

I didn’t realise I had “a thing” until I looked at my camera roll and saw just how many photos of sprayed edges I’ve taken 😂 And these are all just from 2025 💪 That’s a lot of dedication to the edge right there haha. I fear no man… but an exclusive sprayed edge? Yeah, that’s my weakness. 😭😂 Collecting pretty things has always been my downfall, if it’s pretty, I want it 🫣 What’s your bookish toxic trait? Because we’ve clearly identified mine…

The Song of the Marked by S. M. Gaither

Kallie and Graeson ⚔️🥀🖤 Of Fire & Lies series @evaroseart absolutely knocked it out of the park with these two. The pining, the tension, the hand and arm placements??? I hope you all love it as much as I do!! 🖤 Books 1-3 out now ❤️‍🔥 Book 4, The Kingdom’s Reckoning releases fall 2025 Because of her ability to manipulate minds, Kallie is her father’s greatest tool. But when she is captured on her way to her fiancés castle, she must decide how much she is willing to sacrifice for her…

Song of the Marked by @authorsmgaither - Aurora crates ultimate edition!! @auroracratebookbox The character art that was made for this book is my favorite. The connection between the MCs on the front cover shows such a loving connection and I’m obsessed. The colours, the edges, the connection, the art itself. They truly out did themselves with this one. _____________ #fantasy #romantasy #romanticfantasy #fantasyromance #tbr #bookcommunity #readersofinstagram #bookish #bookishcommunity…

REVIEW | “Song of the Shadow Prince” (The Dragon’s Ballad #1) by Karina Espinosa "I knew things would never be the same. I’d just gotten myself into something I couldn’t talk my way out of." On his twentieth birthday, Prince Damien Drakonar, youngest son of Emperor Valenor of Elaria, had his birthright privilege—the ability to turn into a dragon—stolen by his father, who also imprisoned him in the Obsidian Island, when he founds out his son has the Twin Flame mark on his forearm.
