Best selling Romantic Dark Fantasy Author of the A Lay of Ruinous Reign Series
Brianna Sugalski
On DISENCHANTED
“
"After being in a considerable fantasy slump this year and being underwhelmed by the depictions of vampires amidst their supposed resurgence in YA, I was pleasantly surprised to find Disenchanted. It feels like the love child of Armentrout’s From Blood and Ash and Buffy the Vampire Slayer — two things you should all know that I hold in the highest regard. It’s such a strong debut... I’m already anticipating the next book from Sugalski."

"Girl meets boy, girl turns out to be heir to the throne, boy turns out to be a centuries-old vampire...tale as old as time, right? Wrong. Sure, Disenchanted delivers all the explosive romantic energy you'd expect when a woman on a mission to save her kingdom gets mixed up with a reluctant bad boy bodyguard. But, Brianna Sugalski's magical pen delivers so much more: adventure, intrigue, humor and the kind of deep and diverse world building that leaves you eager for more."
Sean Gibson, author of The Part About the Dragon Was (Mostly) True and The Camelot Shadow

"Sugalski’s skill with character development is masterful – knights in tarnished armor, monsters that cherish family, heartless vampires that need a hug, crazy witches, and royally intriguing wastrels – Who is good? Who is bad? What side will you choose? Humans? Darklings? Disenchanted is full of treachery, prejudice, disillusionment, and death – but it also embraces unlikely friendships, forgiveness, merriment and joy, beautiful landscapes, and love."

Brianna Sugalski is a multi-genre fantasy author with a soup addiction, who has spent much time creating TTRPG characters who never get played, so she puts them in books.
Brianna is also a developmental editor specializing in #OwnVoices SFF and Sword & Sorcery fantasy.
You’ll most often find her in an oversized sweater researching diversity and the roles of merchants in the Middle Ages, and Arthurian legend and its impact on Medieval culture. She prefers exploring the more ominous—disenchanting, if you will—undertones of history, romance, and the arcane.
Author’s note🍷⚔️
My vampire romance-dark fantasy debut, DISENCHANTED, was originally released as a Young Adult novel with The Parliament Press in March 2020. It has since been rewritten and self-published for the New Adult market in 2022. The rest of the trilogy will follow this updated rating.
DISILLUSIONED (A Lay of Ruinous Reign: Book Two) and its audiobook will release simultaneously in Fall 2024.
