Entombed by Ariel N. Anderson (Paperback)

From the author of the viral, bestselling BookTok dark romantic tragedy Under Your Scars comes an all-new heartbreaking tale — a dark fantasy retelling of the classic ballet Swan Lake.

Elowen has spent her whole life beneath the shadow of a cruel village, a place where compassion is forbidden and dragons are nothing more than a half-remembered page in a history book. But deep in the heart of the mountain, the last dragon still remains — forged in fire and war, and carrying an unwavering disdain for the rot of humankind.

Both of them crave the same impossible thing: to be chosen. And from that shared longing unfolds an unlikely love story, one whose legacy transcends the ages. As a fierce beast slowly learns to love gently, Elowen dares to hope for something more than the cruelty she’s always known. But this is a tragedy as much as a love story, and love, as she’ll learn, is no shield against the cruelty of the world. Lyrical, aching and dark, it’s a tale for readers who like their romance beautiful and their hearts broken.

This is a dark romantic fantasy and a tragedy, for mature readers. Please check any content warnings before reading, and go in knowing it leans into heartbreak rather than away from it.

Perfect for readers who love dark romantic fantasy, a beauty-and-the-beast-flavoured dragon romance, a Swan Lake retelling and a love story unafraid to break your heart.
