♥︎⚔️ North Carolina’s First & Wilmington’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…

Coming Soon!
February 19Join us on 2/19 to celebrate Jacqueline White’s dark romantasy and book 1 in The Soulbound Trilogy as an indie before it’s out of print.
You’ll have the opportunity to meet the brilliant author in our dark and moody romantasy-only bookstore, and have your copy of Souls In Ruin signed.
This is a FREE event held at Burning Pages Bookstore in The Cargo District in Wilmington, NC.
February 3We’re bringing the phenomenal Rachel Schneider to Wilmington, NC for a night that’s giving magic, metal, mischief, and fangirl moments from beginning to end.
If Metal Slinger has already moved onto your list of top reads this year, you know this world is lush, deadly, and absolutely dripping in tension. And now you get to hear some of the behind-the-scenes secrets straight from the source. We’re talking author convo, Q&A, and a book signing that lets you walk away with a signed copy of the GORGEOUS hardcover edition to show off to every member of your bookish squad.
This is a SOLD OUT ticketed event held at Azalea Station in The Cargo District in Wilmington, NC.
March 14We're creating an entire vibe for this event, one that makes you feel like you're walking into a moody lounge where readers and authors are mixing and mingling. Where book talk flows freely, questions are encouraged, and charcuterie and signature drinks are an absolute must.
Alexis Maragold will be talking all about her brand new release, This Safe Darkness (2/17), and Harper Hawthorne will be sharing her debut, Of Blood and Aether, as well as a teaser for her upcoming release in the Harbingers Series.
This is a TICKETED event held at Azalea Station in The Cargo District in Wilmington, NC.
