Listen "Author Spotlight: Zara J Black"
Episode Synopsis
join me as I chat with dark fantasy romance author Zara J Black whose second book in the Ruled by Magic series, Owned by Magic, just came out last Thursday!
Owned by Magic blurb:
I'll be safe in the prince's bed, from everyone but him.
I stole from a brutal street gang, and now they want me dead. There’s only one place they can’t touch me. The palace. But safety comes at the cost of my freedom. I'll sell myself as a courtesan, serve for five years, and leave with enough money to pay my debt.
Crown Prince Adante wields his power like a knife, and when his gaze turns my way, I know he could destroy me. An innocent mistake earns his attention—along with bruised knees and a painful punishment.
I should listen to the others. I shouldn't catch his eye again. But I've always courted danger, and in the prince, I see a chance at power and revenge. He loves to gamble—sadistic games of pleasure and pain.
All I can wager are my body, mind, and soul. And I play to win.
Owned by Magic is a dark fantasy romance intended for an adult audience.
Author Bio:
Zara began writing in her thirties after reading a series of “fade to black” fantasy books and wondering why the hell the author didn’t make them smuttier.
Challenge, accepted.
She loves creating magical fantasy worlds, turbulent relationships and dark, kinky heroes (who could be villains if you squint a bit.)
When she’s not thinking up ways to torment her characters, Zara lives on the beautiful Gold Coast, Australia with two kiddos and a husband who make her real life far more magical than her stories.
