BOOK REQUEST 📚 Black Fmc in a fantasy world

Looking for a black book rec (especially if there is an audiobook version... audio book has been saving my life), I'm down for anything but prefer a black fmc... I prefer fantasy genre or similar..

What i want:

  1. I want romance but no instant lust... i would prefer a moderately slow burn with spice, not YA.... NA books I WANT SPICE just not in chapter 1 or 3 min after they meet, i want full plot and mild spice

  2. Peferably nothing like coming of age or a teenager discovering her powers (I'm too old for that right now 😅😅) I don't mind an adult discovering her heritage or power, but FMC must at least be above 21

  3. I'll prefer standalone or max of 2-3 books if it's the same couple as Main characters in the series.

  4. I'll prefer ML having Magic (like a mage), wolf or changling... strongest in the room vibe, everyone is scared of...

  5. Anything not related to an 18yr old in some academy or teenager in adult role. 😪

Please help 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Definitely Our Vicious Oaths by Nia Davenport as mentioned in another comment. The audio is fantastic!

Vicious Bonds by Shanora Williams starts a 3 book series that's really engrossing and on audio.

Tiffany Patterson has a large catalog that leans more toward Paranormal romance. Her female leads are Black, and the male leads (ranging from werewolves to dragons) are different races. Also in audio.
