And the only thing more unbearable than endless winter is facing a lifetime of springs without the Huntress. There is only one problem―if she can find a way to lift the curse, she will have to return to the life she left behind. Torn between her family loyalties, her guilty relief at escaping her betrothal to the charming but arrogant Avery Lockland, and her complicated feelings for the Huntress, Rowan must find a way to break the curse before it destroys everything she loves. Rowan, who once scorned the villagers for their superstitions, now finds herself at the heart of a curse with roots as deep as the mountains, ruled by an old magic that is as insidious as the touch of the winter rose. Tall, cruel, and achingly beautiful, she brings Rowan back with her to a mountain fastness populated solely by the creatures of the hunt. The rose is followed by the Huntress, a figure out of legend. But if you’re in for a little uncertainty, and that thin line between love and hate, read on.On a cold day deep in the heart of winter, Rowan’s father returns from an ill-fated hunting trip bearing a single, white rose. No HEAs guaranteed! If that’s what you need, believe me, I respect it! I’ll send you over to my list of queer fantasy romances. A word of warning for the romance readers: this isn’t a list of fantasy romances. You’ll find both YA and adult books among these choices. So this list aims to exhibit some of the bounty available to lovers of F/F enemies-to-lovers fantasy novels. And imbuing a sapphic relationship with magic is a beautiful notion, mirroring the real-life magic inherent in queerness. One of the beauties of queerness is the freedom to create relationships in imaginative ways.

Again, fantasy novels can be great settings for WLW relationships, as the stories don’t necessarily have to be saddled with the hardships and obstacles that can befall earthly characters. Two people questing for the same mystical object with differing motivations.Īnd if you’re in the mood for that relationship to be sapphic, I get you. Fantasy novels are an ideal setting for the enemies-to-lovers trope, because there’s a lot of hay to make with what fantastical elements breed enmity. Sometimes you’re in a really particular reading mood, and an F/F enemies-to-lovers fantasy novel is the only book that will do.
