About Rowyn Adelaide

Rowyn Adelaide is an insatiable romance reader, advanced practice MSW social worker, and the author of the Fate of the Embered series. Her debut novel, Of Withering Dreams, launched the dark fantasy romance series with a haunting blend of passion and peril. Her work fuses atmospheric world-building with emotionally driven romance, often exploring themes of transformation, angst, and resilience.

When she’s not writing or devouring stacks of romance novels, she’s usually globe-trotting, rocking out at concerts, counting down to spooky season, or singing karaoke (very poorly). She lives in the Midwest with her favorite creatures: her husband, their dog Audrey Shepburn (aka the goodest girl that ever lived), and their chaotic cat Stormy, who is equal parts villain and sidekick.

In this episode, we dive into the romantasy book Ruin by K.A. Riley. This is the seventh book in the dystopian romance Thrall series, focusing on the story of Stray and Ruin.

During this episode, we discuss the countless twists and turns in the book, how much Ruin’s power shocked us, why we wonder if Stray might be part cat, the secrets we saw coming and the ones we didn’t, and how we’re curious to see where their story goes next.
