A gorgeously illustrated gift guide for the romantasy lovers in your life. Build your own Romantasy epic from this encyclopaedic breakdown of the genre that everyone is talking about.

Welcome to the ancient and revered Romantasy academy. We’ve been waiting many centuries for you. The only way to truly understand the magick worlds of fantasy and romance is to plunge yourself into the heart of the story. So don your armour, ready your scythe and guard your heart. And whatever you do, do not open that mysterious black gate.

In these hallowed halls, you must choose your warrior before honing your skills in fighting, alchemy and banter. A sharp dagger and an even sharper tongue will get you far. If you suddenly come into possession of
a generation-defying power (happens more often than you would think), our vampire and fae teachers will instruct you in how to wield it. The enemy is closing in at the borders, and we are in dire need of a leader. This will be your definitive manual to navigating war between the realms and the various moods of brooding men with dark eyebrows.

And as for me, I am merely an Oracle. Your guide through the world of Romantasy. I can see all the routes you might take in this book, and be warned, some paths are fraught with danger. Choose your friends and lovers wisely, for some will burn down the world for you, and others will burn it down with you in it.

My only advice? Don’t die.
