Where damnation learns to love.
Stories of bargains struck in the dark, sharp-edged hearts, and the heat that survives the fall.
The Daughter of Damnation Series
Daughter of Damnation is the first of five planned books, with a companion novella between installments. Book Two, Heir of Damnation, releases October 2026. No filler — every book earns its place, and the ending has been known from the start.
Daughter of Damnation
Hell has a university. As of my twenty-fifth birthday, I’m enrolled.
One minute Vera Morozova is a barista with an unused law degree and a mother who whispers to candles. The next, her kitchen is rubble, something sealed inside her is tearing its way out, and two armored things that don’t breathe are dragging her through a portal to St. Abaddon’s — Hell’s elite war academy, where the curriculum assumes she’ll die trying.
She was raised to be normal. She is not.

Heir of Damnation
I’m getting married at the end of the academic year. In Hell, that means binding my marrow permanently to a Great House. How romantic.
Vera survived her first year at St. Abaddon’s. The two hundred meters of living labyrinth she destroyed were less fortunate. Now her future is being fitted in Vaelaris blue — until a discovery in the deep archive turns her mother from a memory into a trail, one that leads beyond the governed Rings and straight through the one male she cannot afford to want.
The wedding is getting closer. Her mother is still missing. And Vera can’t keep searching without lying to Kaelen.

Enter the Seventh RingHello, I'm Rosella.
I write dark fantasy romance for readers who like their love stories with teeth — morally grey heroes, slow-burning want, and worlds where the underworld has its own weather, its own politics, and its own ideas about who deserves a happy ending.
With Daughter of Damnation I wanted a Hell that felt lived-in — demon nightclubs, weddings that bind your marrow to a Great House, courts where contracts outlive kingdoms — and built on one rule: the more beautiful a place is, the more dangerous it is to be standing in it. Then I gave it a heroine with a sharp mouth and no idea what she’s carrying. If you like your fantasy immersive and your romance earned, you’re in the right place.
The Daughter of Damnation series is what happens when you give Hell a university, enroll a girl who shouldn’t exist, and let two dangerous males disagree about what to do with her. I regret nothing.
