♥︎⚔️ The First & North Carolina's Only Romantasy Bookstore
Welcome to Wilmington’s first and only romantasy bookstore, where we not only stock our shelves with the hottest BookTok titles and emerging indie authors, but we’re creating a community of feral readers who are ready to find their bookish tribe. We’re Wilmington’s niche destination for romantasy lovers who like to escape reality and enter a fictional world filled with magic, SPICE, powerful female main characters, slow burn tension, and immersive world-building. And did we mention, dark romantasy is one of our featured sections?
Yeah. We’ve got exactly what you love to read and then some brand new recs from our indie wall of fame that you never even knew you needed.
Calling all feral readers…

The gods are calling… and we’re answering.
Join us June 1st for an EARLY re-release of Kissed by the Gods with indie-gone-trad author, Caty Rogan!

This will be a ticketed author event with a live conversation led by Jaimee Johnson (@thtgrlreads), Q&A, and signing.

Join us at the bookstore on July 11th for a free meet and greet and book signing event with indie authors Anna Applegate and Helen Domico.
