The Wicked Wordsmith Weekly
My name is Kay D Gaines, and I'm an author.
Hey, I’m Kay D. Gaines—your friendly neighborhood creator of morally gray men, chaotic Fae politics, and romantic tension so thick it could probably shatter a rune stone. I write dark romantasy because therapy is expensive, and giving my characters emotional damage is free.
In this newsletter, you’ll get early looks at scenes I probably shouldn’t be sharing, character secrets I absolutely shouldn’t be revealing, and updates about upcoming books, plot twists, and the general chaos of my writing life.
If you like spice with a side of sarcasm, fantasy that bites back, and heroines who refuse to stay down—welcome to the inner circle. You’re among friends… and a few monsters.
Winner will be chosen New Years Eve

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow, A must read, for those who crave books that transport you! Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2025
The perfect read for anyone that loves magic, strong dynamics of power play within relationships and romance. I couldn’t put this book down the entire book was so descriptive and detailed that I felt as if I were right there, the storyline was deep and had everything I want in a good book. It left me each time I put it down thinking and wondering what next, it brought me to tears but more so for the well written and thought provoking situations, battles and wins. All I can say is I can’t wait for the next book but I’m convinced I will read this books several more times because I know the more I read it the more I’ll find the infinite hidden knowledge and strength that drew me to not want to put it down.
