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, is out now. 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 waking up, 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.
Out nowHell doesn’t burn. It seduces.
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.
Out nowHell doesn’t need chains. It asks you to choose them.

Hello, 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, and courts where contracts outlive kingdoms. The more beautiful it is, the more dangerous it is to stand there. Then I gave it a heroine with a sharp mouth and no idea what she’s carrying.
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.
