MY WORK - Where Death Meets Desire
Inspiration
My stories are born from ancient mythology, gothic literature, and one haunting question: What if the person who could feel your every emotion was the last person you'd ever trust?
Philosophy
I believe the best love stories aren't about people who deserve each other — they're about people who choose each other anyway. My characters earn their redemption through fire.
Signature
Soul bonds that expose every secret. Morally gray heroines who wield death. Enemies-to-lovers tension that burns slow. Fantasy that hurts before it heals.
My Journey
A Lifetime of Shadows — Finally Set Free
I didn't discover these stories. They discovered me.
Since childhood, my mind has been filled with shadows — necromancers wielding death magic, lovers bound by souls, ghosts who refused to leave, and monsters desperate to be loved.
While other kids dreamed of sunshine, I dreamed of moonlit graveyards and love stories that conquered death itself. For years, I wrote in silence. Notebooks overflowed. Drafts multiplied. Entire universes lived only in my imagination — requiem weavers who trap souls in music, phantom anatomists who see trauma imprinted on corpses, plague saints whose healing becomes dangerous devotion, barrow keeper brides betrothed to collective ghost entities.
Dozens of novels wait in my drafts. Each one demands to be written. Each one has characters who whisper their stories when I close my eyes. The Bone & Breath Trilogy was simply the first to escape — the story that refused to stay silent any longer.
Vea and Riven clawed their way out of my imagination and onto the page, and once they were free, I knew the rest would follow.
This is not the work of a moment. This is a lifetime of dark love stories finally finding their way to readers who understand that the best romances aren't safe — they're earned through fire, tested by death, and all the more precious for the struggle.
What's coming next? More than I can count. More necromancers. More soul bonds. More ghost lovers. More monsters worthy of devotion. The shadows have been patient. Now it's their time to shine.
The Beginning
These stories didn't arrive yesterday. They've haunted me since childhood — whispers of necromancers, soul bonds, and lovers who refused to let death separate them. Notebooks filled. Drafts piled. Worlds waited to be born.
The Craft
I've spent years building universes in silence. Dozens of novels live in my drafts — ghost lovers, resurrection romances, phantom anatomists, plague saints. Each story demands its turn. The Bone & Breath Trilogy was simply first to escape.
What Readers Are Saying
Jessica Monroe
BookTok Creator & Fantasy Romance Reviewer
Ophelia Summers absolutely wrecked me — in the best way possible. The Bone & Breath Trilogy has everything I crave in dark romantasy: enemies-to-lovers tension that had me screaming, a soul bond that made my chest ache, and a morally gray heroine I would die for. I finished Heart of Stars at 3 AM, sobbing into my pillow. If you love ACOTAR and Fourth Wing, Ophelia's writing will consume you. She's now an auto-buy author for me. No questions asked.
