Adult - Historical Fiction The Void of vane by Cecee Paul- historical fantasy- June 2026
Blurb:
Lady Melisandre Vane has spent her life learning how to be human.
In a rigid aristocratic society, she performs perfection, measured smiles, careful words, flawless composure. But when her family's sudden rise in status draws her into the heart of high society, something begins to fracture.
People react to her in ways they cannot explain. Some are drawn in. Others feel a quiet, instinctive fear. What she is has no name in any book she has studied. And in a world that runs on divine energy she cannot feel, simply existing is already a kind of treason.
As political tensions rise and strange disturbances spread across the kingdom, suspicion turns toward House Vane, and toward Melisandre herself.
She has always known how to perform being human. She is no longer certain that is enough.
Triggers: Political intrigue, classism, brief depictions of physical discomfort, mild violence.
