The Maiden of the Barren Rime Kickstarter is Live!

A character-driven, slow burn, adult fantasy-romance novel featuring a female lead with just as much bite as her bark.

The Fallow Peaks, a frozen wasteland of cruel mountains and blood thirsty beasts, where the veil between the Realm of Mortals and the fae realm thins, where very few adventurers have dared to tread, where very few guides are qualified to lead.

Guides such as Mina, unfortunately.

Isolated by choice, Mina finds her solitude interrupted by a sudden request from the Crown of Lanholde to lead their latest band of contractors up the Peaks to finish their quest and deliver their bounty to the capital. The overly friendly five-some she’s contacted to escort seem hell-bent to step over her every boundary, no matter now stern and scornful she acts, worst among them their leader, Sebastian Windenhofer.

Will the fire wizard warm Mina’s cold heart? Or will the reasons behind her icy demeanor turn them all to ice before he gets the chance?

________________

A character-driven adult fantasy-romance narrative featuring a female protagonist with flaws that serve more to the story than just being a character trait. The Maiden of the Barren Rime is a book about love and family and acceptance and people, all while throwing you into an amazing, fascinating, fantasy world. 

AND, as this is a slow-burn romance, there are well-earned, intimate scenes for those who like a little spice with their catharsis. 😉

With plans to expand the series into a trilogy, your backing will help The Maiden of the Barren Rime reach it's intended audience, and a fresh style of narrative into the fantasy-romance drama.

Check it out on Kickstarter

♪ ── strong girl : niki

it's to the death, or less than nothing i'm a pendulum, i don't know where i'll land, i just know that i can swing it, i'll always swing it

cause goddamn it, fuck if i'm not everybody's strong girl, who am i if i can't be everybody's strong girl? ♫

when i was in my late teens, i was that typical teenager who hated everything about her life. i was consumed by negativity because i couldn't envision a future where i would feel truly happy again.

i tried to find my worth through the approval of others and my achievements. i was the kid who constantly sought academic validation, believing that my value depended entirely on what i accomplished.

i was once seen as the strong, independent girl in my family, the one who could do and learn everything on her own. they believed i didn’t need help, so they rarely offered it. but beneath the surface, i was struggling, feeling the immense pressure of their expectations. i was so close to erasing myself, burdened by the fear of what might happen if i could no longer handle everything alone. what if i wasn’t actually the strong, independent person they thought i was? what if, in trying to meet their expectations, i lost sight of my own well-being? i began to realize that even the strongest people need support, and admitting that doesn’t make me any less capable. it makes me human.

but over time, i learned that even in the darkest moments, there's always a glimmer of hope. i started to shift my focus, embracing small joys and gradually building a vision for a brighter future. now, i understand that happiness is a journey, not a destination, and every step forward, no matter how small, brings me closer to the life i truly want.

but instead of letting that fear consume me, i decided to embrace my vulnerability. i reached out for help and discovered that strength isn't about carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders—it's about knowing when to ask for support. by allowing myself to be open and honest with others, i found a new kind of strength—one rooted in connection, resilience, and self-compassion. i learned that it's okay not to have everything figured out and that true independence is about trusting yourself enough to lean on others when you need to. in doing so, i began to redefine what it means to be strong, finding empowerment in both my strengths and my struggles.

softness is a strength woven in whispers, a quiet power that blooms in the heart. it is the gentle hand that soothes in a world of rough edges, the tender light that shines through shadows of doubt. in a world that often glorifies the hard and unyielding, softness is the bravery to remain open, the grace to offer kindness when it’s needed most. it is the resilience of the flower that bends with the wind yet never breaks, the courage to love even when it’s easier to close off. softness is the silent strength that heals, nurtures, and connects. it’s the melody of compassion in a cacophony of noise, the calm in the storm. to be soft is to be unafraid of your own depth, to let your heart lead, knowing that true power lies not in the armor we wear, but in the tenderness we give.

i may no longer be the strong girl everyone once relied upon, but i will forever be the soft girl, whose gentle heart brings warmth and grace to the world.
