ABOUT

Fantasy author. Professional disaster wrangler.

Hello. My name is Wysteria Blackmoon, and my passion for chaos stems from years of reading romantasy and thinking "yes, but what if this was also extremely stupid."

I didn’t set out to write parody. I set out to write a serious romantasy, and somewhere around a dead king with objectively terrible taste in shoes, I accepted that this was never going to be that book, and that I was fine with it. I understood how easy it is to take a genre completely seriously and how much funnier it becomes when you don’t. These realisations sparked in me a deep, unshakeable commitment to bits.

I specialise in trope collision: chosen ones, brooding generals, telepathic dragons, and heroines who fake their way through prophecy with the confidence of someone who has clearly never read the fine print.

My goal isn’t just to make you laugh, it’s to make you laugh and then, against your better judgment, actually care what happens to these idiots.

REVIEWS

"I came for the dragon. I stayed for the emotional damage."
Quarterly Review of Suspiciously Attractive Fantasy Men
"A masterclass in taking absolutely nothing seriously except the feelings."
The Fellowship of Readers Who Cried At A Comedy
"I have never related to a chosen one more, and I have never been more concerned about that."
Society for the Emotionally Compromised
"Reads like ACOTAR fell down a flight of stairs and landed somewhere much funnier."
Booktok, probably

I’m constantly evolving, mostly by giving my characters more trauma and my dragon more opinions. If you’re looking for a book that takes fantasy romance completely seriously right up until it absolutely doesn’t, you’ve come to the right place.

Go on. Meet the cast.
