BLURBS FOR CROWS & SERPENTS
"An impressive debut! Two fierce women suffer heartache and betrayal in a world of powerful gods, scheming mortals, and breathtaking magic. But when their stories converge,
it is one of found family, vengeance, and the beauty that emerges from darkness.
A sweeping epic for dark fantasy lovers!"
— Tessonja Odette, bestselling author of The Lies That Summon The Night
"A Curse of Crows is a richly woven romantic fantasy where vengeance and power collide.
With emotional stakes that will leave you breathless and characters as intricate as
they are dangerous, this is a story that simmers with passion — and
slowly twists into something far more dangerous."
— Logan Karlie, bestselling author of Dream By The Shadows
"For readers who support women's rights, and women's wrongs.
A strong fantasy romance with a stronger cast of characters."
— Hazel McBride, bestselling author of A Fate Forged in Fire
"With complex world building, rich prose, and plenty of twists,
A Curse of Crows is high fantasy at its best. A thoroughly enchanting read."
— Mara Rutherford, author of A Curious Kind of Magic
BLURBS FOR BLOODLORN
“With prose that drips dark honey, characters that saunter off the page and a story that will make you chuckle one moment, gasp and blush the next, Dedroog’s breathtaking sapphic romantasy will lure you into its shadowy realms. Don’t resist it!”
— Danai Christopoulou, author of Vile Lady Villains
“Steeped in myth and shadows, Bloodlorn demands to be devoured in a single sitting. With a sapphic romance seductive enough to make you blush and tender enough to warm your heart, Dedroog's exquisite prose weaves a spellbinding tale. A powerful meditation on female rage, the transformative power of love, and the stories that turn women into villains.”
— Emily Cooper, author of Season of Fear
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Growing up in Belgium, Lauren (27) always dreamed of writing stories, and devoured fantasy as well as mythology-inspired books.
Figuring that a degree in languages, history or writing wouldn't fare well in this capitalistic world, she got two bachelor degrees in nursing and became an ICU nurse instead. The COVID pandemic was the final push she needed to actually start writing — as a form of escapism. Since then, she's been writing non-stop.
Lauren is particularly fond of Scotland, rom-coms, vanilla lattes, homemade cinnamon rolls, getting distracted and having about ten different crochet projects at all times. She also thanks the universe on the daily for inventing audiobooks. When she's not listening to those, she's singing along to Hozier, Florence + The Machine, Paris Paloma and Noah Kahan. If none of the above, you’ve probably found a mimic and must proceed with caution . . .
