Abused by the Prince she’s engaged to, Princess Sloane would rather kill herself than submit to his cruelty; but when another Princess arrives at the tower Sloane learns how love really feels and that claws aren’t what make a monster. To escape Sloane must embrace the beast within #DVpit #f #a #lgbt
I’ve got a couple upcoming projects and WIPs, all are queer and inclusive: 🎭: Sapphic steampunk Phantom of the Opera retelling 🐍: Lesbian Medusa myth revenge story 🐎: The Four Horsewomen of the apocalypse vs the Seven Deadly Sins 👑: Lesbian class tensions Cinderella retelling #DVparty
#DVparty Day 4: On a lighthearted note, one of the funnier aspects of the book is when Sloane and Naima finally kiss. Naima thought they had been dating for awhile and just taking it slow on physical intimacy because of Sloanes trauma. Sloane: “Wait, am I gay?”
#DVparty Day 2: Princess Sloane of the Blazing Hills hasn’t been seen or heard from for 10 years. Locked in a tower to hide her cursed form, she waits for her Prince to cure her. But when “True Loves Kiss” fails, he’d rather cut the scales and claws from her body than have a beast for a bride.
A little late to the #DVparty but here’s is an aesthetic for my project SAVAGE CROWNS & GOLDEN BEASTS
Day 1 of #WIP intros: Savage Crowns & Golden Beasts Locked in a tower, Princess Sloane isn’t guarded by a dragon, she’s turning into one. When her prince’s “true loves kiss” doesn’t cure her, his gentle hand turns to torment. To escape her abusers, Sloane will have to embrace the beast within.
#WIPsnips from Savage Crowns & Golden Beasts, as her loyal knight and attendant helps her get ready for an impromptu royal dinner, we get a little glimpse of how Princess Sloane views herself.
