Ruin & Rose: Dark Fantasy Signing with Authors Vex Ashbourne and Gillian Rose

Two dark worlds. One wicked night. 🖤🥀

Good on Paper Books & Stationery is thrilled to welcome Vex Ashbourne and Gillian Rose for an evening celebrating dark fantasy, dangerous secrets, and unforgettable characters.

Join us as we explore two captivating worlds where nothing is quite as it seems.

🥀 The Smiling Dark by Vex Ashbourne

She spent years building a mask to survive a court that watches for weakness. He was sent to kidnap her for a king but fell for the woman beneath the mask instead. And her dragon will stop at nothing to protect her.

Enter a world of dangerous loyalties, hidden identities, and forbidden romance in the first book of The Beautiful Ruin Series.

🖤 When Children Roam Free by Gillian Rose

Raised within the seemingly perfect Population Initiative Terminal, Lenali Canahan risks everything to expose its darkest secrets. Abandoned beyond its walls and captured by a vengeful half-giant, she discovers a brutal world where survival demands unimaginable sacrifices.

To defeat the PIT, Lenali must unite warring tribes and confront an evil that may be hiding within herself.
