Weink Book Club: May Pick — A Dark Fantasy Romance 🌙
After kicking things off in April with a contemporary romance, Expecting Stars by Emily R. Bellas, the Weink book club is back with something a little darker… This May, we’re diving into a dark fantasy romance — our next monthly book club pick in our free online romance book club.👉 (You can check out our April launch and first pick here.)
Our May Pick: The Great and the Dark — House Woodthorne (Book One) by Violetta
This month’s read introduces us to a rich fantasy world filled with magic, danger, and forbidden connections. The good news? This is the first book in a completed trilogy, and all books are already available to read for free on Weink ✨ That means if you get hooked, you can continue the entire series straight away!
“I couldn’t deny the forbidden sensations I hadn’t felt in so long. The neediness, the hunger. The craving for the touch of another. Another as twisted and miserable as myself.”
Aislinn Lockmere—a talented baker in the realm of Carafye—has known struggle as a widow and single mother, but she enjoys her independence, no matter the hardships. Her entire world is flipped upside down when she’s taken away from her self-built life by charismatic half-elf lord Landyn Woodthorne.
He brings her to his estate, where she is forced to have a hand in his plans to unite two kingdoms. There, she meets Landyn’s younger brother Daegyn—a half-elf headsman with a calling for vengeance.
House Woodthorne provides her with friendship and rouses forbidden feelings inside her that she swore off long ago. As if things aren’t difficult enough, a terrible tragedy befalls the kingdom, and Aislinn’s will to survive is tested.
Will she trust true love or remain as she’s always known—alone?
