Gothic longing, moonlit magic, and stories that linger.

Hello beautiful reader,
If your Kindle has been feeling a little too light lately, I have excellent news for you.
The Stuff Your Kindle event is live, and it’s a big one—1,700+ free ebooks across fantasy, romance, romantasy, gothic, and more. Whether you’re a mood reader, a trope hunter, or a proud digital book hoarder, this is one of those events where future-you is going to be very grateful.
With that many free books, though, it can be hard to know where to start—so let me point you toward one you absolutely shouldn’t miss.
🥀 Featured Free Read: Spirit of the Dying Flower by C.A. Varian
(FREE during Stuff Your Kindle)
“He came to forget the past. She was never meant to be part of his future.”
When struggling novelist Kayden Hale moves into a quiet seaside estate, he expects solitude and time to write. Instead, he finds whispers in the walls—and a woman who appears only at night.
She is pale, elusive, impossibly beautiful. She never speaks. She leaves no trace in daylight. And yet, Kayden can’t stay away.
As he’s drawn deeper into the mystery of the house and the woman who walks its halls, he uncovers secrets that stretch far beyond the manor’s walls—and realizes that some love stories don’t begin with a kiss, but with a curse.
✨ Spirit of the Dying Flower is a spellbinding gothic romance filled with longing, atmosphere, and shadows that live between night and day. If you love haunted houses, slow-burn tension, and love stories that ache, this one belongs on your Kindle.
🌙 Collector Alert: The Moon-Cursed Crown Kickstarter
From filling your Kindle for free… to falling in love with a story you’ll want to hold forever.
When the long-lost Moon Crown awakens, it doesn’t choose a warrior or a queen—it chooses Liora, a healer who never wanted power. Each time she wields the Crown’s light, a fragment of a dead god stirs within her soul.
Hunted by an empire and haunted by whispers from the Crown itself, Liora must place her trust in a stranger cloaked in shadow—one whose secrets may damn them both.
The Moon-Cursed Crown begins The Shattered Gods Duology, a sweeping romantasy of divine relics, forbidden magic, and a love powerful enough to defy the gods themselves.
This Kickstarter features two stunning collector’s editions:
🌙 Luxe Edition
Colored pages, dozens of custom art pieces, sprayed edges, foil detailing, a ribbon bookmark, and a reversible dust jacket.
✨ Full-Color Art Edition
Every page fully illustrated, immersing you completely in the world of the shattered gods.
Step into a world where mercy is rebellion, power has a cost, and even the gods cannot stay dead.
📬 Author Spotlights (Newsletter Swaps)
I also want to take a moment to spotlight a couple of fellow authors—stories worth checking out if you’re looking for your next read beyond the Stuff Your Kindle event.
SOME DREAMS FEEL LIKE MEMORIES. SOME MEMORIES FEEL LIKE FATE.
Four vampires. Four Rock stars. All hers.
✨ Reader Reminder: Downloading free ebooks does not obligate you to read them immediately. Your future reading moods will thank you.
Happy reading, happy hoarding, and may your Kindle be full and your stories deliciously cursed.
Until next time,
CA Varian's team
