The Vengeance of Love

A survivor driven by vengeance. A noble aching for freedom.

When their worlds collide, love might be the most dangerous path of all.

Mina is the last of her kind, the sole survivor of Velho, a city once blessed by the God and reduced to ruin. For years, she's hunted the man responsible for her people's slaughter, guided by vengeance and the divine path she believes she must follow.

Her search leads her to Fusia, the most powerful and polished city in the Sphere, where she's pressed into service under its elite. Tasked with guiding a group through the deadly marshlands, Mina begins to forge unexpected bonds, including one that threatens to change everything. Love.

Aria has grown up surrounded by power and privilege, but inside, she feels hollow and trapped. When Mina crashes into her world, she awakens something Aria never knew she craved: purpose, fire, and the courage to want more than the life she's been told to live.

When the truth behind Velho's fall finally comes to light, Mina must choose: cling to the vengeance that has defined her, or risk everything for a love she never expected.

Perfect for fans of slow-burn sapphic romance, steampunk fantasy, and emotionally driven heroines, The Vengeance of Love will resonate with readers of The Ember in the Ashes, The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea, and This Vicious Grace.

A lush, emotionally charged debut, The Vengeance of Love launches a powerful new saga about survival, sacrifice, and the war between justice and the heart. Vengeance built her. Love might break her.

LoriO writes emotionally driven fantasy with sharp edges-stories of grace, fierce bonds, and love that sneaks up on you. Often sapphic, always heartfelt, she believes in story's power to heal, challenge, and reveal.
