Dark Romantasy
Gael Ashen grew up haunted by the stories his grandmother told in the dark: tales of Wild Hunts, unmarked courts, and bargains that outlived the people who made them. He studied cultural mythology and creative writing, but it was the collision of old gods and modern cities that became his obsession.
His debut series, The Unmarked Courts, reimagines Celtic and Norse mythology in contemporary London, where a Valkyrie-turned-coroner and the Lord of the Wild Hunt navigate crime, duty, and a slow-burn romance neither of them can afford.
He writes from the Pacific Northwest, surrounded by rain and too many candles.
Dark Romantasy · The Unmarked Courts #1
by Gael Ashen
A Valkyrie who abandoned her calling works as a London coroner, cataloguing the dead she once would have claimed. When bodies begin arriving marked with symbols from the courts she left behind, she is forced into an alliance with the Lord of the Wild Hunt. The bargain will cost more than either of them expects.
Dark Romantasy · The Unmarked Courts #2
by Gael Ashen
She studies the dead. He is one. Neither of them is as finished with the other as they pretend. A minor Greek death goddess and Kas the Deathless are assigned to the same investigation in 1882 St. Petersburg, where people who should die are not dying.
Pre-order Dark Romantasy · The Unmarked Courts #3
by Gael Ashen
She sells the future in her mirrors. She has never once looked into one herself. Carnival Venice, 1509: a Murano glassmaker with a Saturday secret, a fallen angel who draws maps of places that do not officially exist, and a buyer collecting every seeing-glass she makes.
