SAN FRANCISCO - s4story -- redrosethorns Ltd. Liability Co. (USA) and redrosethorns Ltd. (UK) are delighted to announce the acquisition of a new romantasy novelette by emerging author Christin Marie. This marks the second book acquisition for the transatlantic publisher, further expanding its acclaimed literary portfolio beyond the celebrated Thorn & Bloom Magazine and the redrosethorns journal.

The upcoming work, The Rose Temple, opens in a sacred temple devoted to Aphrodite, where a restless priestess confronts the tension between devotional duty and personal longing as she seeks her true purpose and true love. A transformative encounter with a passionate companion awakens deep desires and a sense of destined connection, until heartbreak unravels her, testing her faith in love and devotion. Through reflection, ritual, and resilience, she is remade from within, finding peace in her heart and ultimately stepping into a life aligned with her deepest yearnings.

Christin Marie's fresh voice and innovative storytelling are a perfect match for redrosethorns' commitment to publishing bold, evocative, and beautifully crafted feminist narratives.

"We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Christin Marie to the redrosethorns community," said Kirsty Anne Richards, founder and editor of redrosethorns. "From the first page, her novelette ensnared us with its unique magic, complex characters, and its bold, nuanced examination of power and desire. It delivers a timeless, urgent love story while actively challenging and dismantling the genre's patriarchal frameworks. Christin's work is a blossom of dark beauty and radiant hope, precisely the kind of project we founded our press to champion."

Christin Marie is a Florida native and London-based novelist, poet, and blogger whose work weaves mysticism, ancient Greek historical myth, and the inner landscapes of the heart into sensory-driven prose. Her poetry is a textured, lyrical exploration of love, longing, spirituality, and transformation. She's the creator of the e-course Radiant Quill: Living and Writing in Your Essence, which helps writers and creatives cultivate a sustainable, soul-led creative flow. The Rose Temple is her debut romantasy novelette, inviting readers into a richly imagined world where devotion, desire, and destiny converge.
