Things ruining Rhen’s Day:
🩸 Her prophesied power never manifests
👑 Being stripped of her titles as heir
⚔️ A (hot) man prevents her from unlocking her power
👁️ An arcane force tries to kill her when she's near the sea (she lives seaside)
🌊 The truth about her brother’s death

A dark space fantasy aesthetic mood board with a collage of photos. Vertically down, from the first column:
1. A violet, light-tinged hole framing a violet sky
2. A faint silhouette of a woman beneath colors like the northern lights
3. Two hands reaching towards one another
4. A sci-fi inspired, dark uniform with a high collar 
5. A grand stairwell, perhaps a futuristic religious site, with a single silhouette looking up 
6. Two romantic silhouettes against a starry night sky
7. A lone figure with a backpack, standing amongst a shroud of sand-colored fog 
8. A hand covered in glitter
9. A silhouette standing in front of a blue-lit circular tunnel entrance
10. A black woman with glitter coating her shoulder, just the bottom half of her face is visible, lips tilted slightly up in a smile
11. A black woman screaming 
12. A stream of light breaking through dark clouds 
13. An eye turned to show only the whites 
14. Figures in robes seemingly suspended in mid-air 
15. A figure on a black, sleek futuristic looking motorcycle 

None of the images are my own. They are all sourced from Pinterest

Excerpts:
“My mom is attempting to Heimlich maneuver a meatball out of me when my sister bursts through the front door of our store and announces she’s going to be the next big reality television star.”

“I feel safe now because of you.
His words are heavy, tangible, as though the letters are digging their heels into my heart. I know he means safe in the game, but my mind takes me back to eight years ago when I first realized what falling in love meant to me: pure, unadulterated safety. The safety of knowing I could be wholeheartedly myself, flaws and all, and he would only find more reasons to adore me. The safety of knowing on days I didn’t particularly like myself, he would still never like anyone else more.
Maybe that’s why the end hurt so badly. It was danger infiltrating a place of peace.”

ELECTRIC SEXUAL TENSION.
Excerpt reads: There's a possessiveness in how he touches me and I wish I hated it.
"How would you punish me?" I breathe out, unable to control my impulses.
Fingers touch my zip as he slowly slips it down, millimetre by millimetre. My body is completely in his thrall, unable to decipher the beat of my heart from the thump of the speaker's bass.
Cloudy background with one half of a lightning bolt

Raegan, an aspiring mage, is forced to give up her dream of protecting the realm after the king betroths her to Prince Arlon, the boy who broke her heart the night her mother perished. As Arlon’s icy exterior thaws, Raegan learns the true nature of his cold shoulder, and with time the walls around her heart begin to crumble.
