...

Can we forgive injustice?
Do we accept the fate forced upon us?
Should we fight, no matter the cost?
How do we move on from great loss?
What would you trade to relive one moment?

I write folklore and mythology inspired dark fantasy. Emphasis on dark.

A Special project...

It turns out that I'm working on another book in parallel with Descendants of the Fates 4! There are:
- pirates
- mythical beasts

Quotes by Rhiannon Hargadon (?)

“If man shall lay claim to land, then let the seas be ours.”
― Rhiannon Hargadon, Bloody Black

“You asked who I really am, so here’s the truth: I’m a man who waited too long. And spoke up too late. I refuse to make the same mistake with you again.” My breath catches as his hands slide upward to cup my jaw, turning my face so I can’t look away. “You’ve gutted me. Not with a blade, but with your eyes. Every time you look at me, I feel undone. You make me want things I stopped believing in a long time ago. Peace. Home. A future.” His calloused fingers touch the bargains around my neck. “I’m no scholar, so I don’t know what these marks mean. But what I do know is that if you asked me to burn my ship to the waterline, I would. If you told me to wait, I would. If you drowned me in the sea, I’d bless the tide that brought me to your arms.” His green eyes meet mine, steady and measured. “I would break every oath. Cross every ocean. Kill and steal and lie. Just to have a place at your side.”

“It turns out that expecting the worst doesn’t mean you’re prepared for it. It just means that you’re less surprised when you turn out to be right.”
