Into the Teeth of the Carpathians

A Tale of Alchemy, Ancestry, and Ash

In a forgotten village nestled deep within the Carpathian mountains, where fog clings to the trees and the past refuses to die, a wandering healer arrives bearing nothing but tinctures, haunted dreams, and a vow to never look back.
But some bloodlines don’t stay buried.

What begins as a quiet attempt to start over becomes a descent into ancestral secrets, soul-forged rituals, and an impossible bond with a blacksmith who shouldn’t be alive. When silver-laced curses bleed into bone and monsters wear familiar faces, Marina must decide if love can survive the shadows, or if it will be devoured by them.

Blending gothic romance, alchemical horror, and folkloric mysticism, Into the Teeth of the Carpathians is a lyrical and slow-burning tale of inheritance, transformation, and the terrifying grace of choosing one another, when the world begs you not to.

Perfect for fans dark romantic fantasy and for anyone who has ever feared becoming the thing they’re meant to destroy.

Step into the mist. Bring a candle. Leave changed.
