C.M. Adams writes dark romance and speculative fiction for readers who crave intense worlds, unapologetic heroines, and love stories forged in fire. Her novels blend danger, desire, and high-stakes survival — whether in the chaos of a zombie apocalypse, the iron grip of a dystopian regime, or the treacherous courts of magic and power.

Her heroines fight, bleed, and sometimes burn, but they never bow. Her love interests are morally grey, fiercely protective, and just dangerous enough to keep you up all night turning pages.

Her books are published first on Amazon — available in Kindle Unlimited, eBook, paperback, and hardback — and are also available on Barnes & Noble, as well as through Gumroad, Payhip, IngramSpark, and directly on her website for the ultimate reader experience.

When she's not building new worlds or breaking hearts on the page, C.M. Adams connects with readers on Facebook and Instagram, sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses, character art, and upcoming release news.

The opening pages drop you into Lilly’s world not with a whisper, but a reckoning.

She’s hidden her magic all her life, building walls of silence and shadows to survive. But when the final king is crowned, the realm’s power stirs — and so does hers. In a moment that should have been ordinary, everything changes: the air thickens with secrets, the throne’s call reaches her bones, and danger sharpens into focus.

This chapter sets the tone: political games wrapped in silken menace, the weight of a crown that doesn’t ask to be worn but claims, and a heroine whose quiet defiance begins to crack open the fate of a kingdom.

You’ll meet Lilly in the space between concealment and exposure — caught in a storm of duty, desire, and threats she cannot yet name. Every line drips with tension, promising obsession, betrayal, and devotion that borders on violent.

Start The Lightkeeper with Chapter One and step into a court of nine kings, where survival is seduction, and every choice leaves a scar.
