Debut Novel

A noblewoman bound by duty. A brother cursed by darkness. A journey into the unknown where love and betrayal walk hand in hand.

In the southern lands, the courting season is in full bloom, and noble families scheme for power through marriage. But for one sharp-tongued daughter, securing a suitor is the least of her worries. When an ancient darkness seeps into the realm, her beloved younger brother falls victim to a deadly curse—one whispered to be the work of the northern witch.

About the Author

H. M. Opet is a fantasy writer, mother, and dreamer who weaves tales of magic, intrigue, and adventure.

By day, I'm a mother of three, a wife, and a full-time professional who has built a career I'm proud of. But by night, I lose myself in the world of magic, intrigue, and adventure.

I've always been a lover of fantasy, drawn to rich worlds and characters that linger long after the last page. When a story took root in my mind—a tale of hidden magic, wolf shifters, and a heroine torn between duty and destiny—I knew I had to write it.

Now, I'm bringing that world to life, and I can't wait for you to step into the shadows with me.

Also, I'm a devoted pet lover—because every great fantasy world needs a loyal companion.
