In this episode, we’re joined by Nika McKinney and discuss her debut novel, Realm of Ruin. We discuss how her own medical challenges led her to love of romantasy and ultimately inspired her to write her debut romantasy novel, how she came up with the complex magical system, why she wanted to highlight trauma and the impact it has on people in this story, and a few tidbits about what to expect in the next book.

Realm of Ruin is available on Amazon, Kindle Unlimited, and Barnes and Noble.

About Nika McKinney

Nika has always harbored the quiet dream of becoming a writer since she was a child. Her happy spot is writing about magical love, gut-wrenching trauma, and redemptive healing. Words are her daggers and paintbrushes.

She lives with her own fated mate and their two children in the north of Texas where it snows entirely too little. She is also a board-certified mental health therapist and a firm believer in the power of a good lavender matcha latte.
