Description

SHE’S A DEVA PRINCESS DESTINED TO HEAL THE WORLD. HE’S AN ASURA PRINCE DESTINED TO RULE IT.

Kumara is a slow-burn adult fantasy romance standalone inspired by Hindu lore, filled with forbidden romance, cosmic balance, and a love powerful enough to challenge destiny itself.

Perfect for readers who love:

  • Slow-burn romantic tension 🖤
  • Shadow prince x divine princess 🌙
  • Forced proximity
  • Found family
  • Dual POV 📚
  • Character-driven plots
  • Diverse cast
  • Elemental magic ✨
  • Immersive new worlds 🐉
  • Open Door Spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️
  • The world building of Sarah J. Maas, the high stakes of Carissa Broadbent, and the deep inner POV of Ali Hazelwood. 


BLURB: 

For millennia, their worlds have existed in fragile coexistence—light against shadow, Lunaris against Solaris, Deva against Asura. But when cracks split open the Mortal Realm and demons rise from the Inferno, the delicate balance between their worlds begins to unravel.

Forced into an alliance, their proximity ignites something more dangerous than war, and they must choose between duty to their people, or a love that could destroy them all.

If possible, I'd love to hear your thoughts on Goodreads, Amazon, or any platform you use as well.

The tension between two opposing factions was just right, creating the perfect slow burn/forced proximity between the FMC and MMC. If you’re looking for your next romantacy, this should be at the top of your list! Thank you so much Anita for allowing me to ARC read your novel, I can’t wait to see what you’ll write next!" - Goodreads Review
