aromanticism requests

[Zombieslayer⚡Alienhunter]

Looking for books with aro leads.

Aromanticism and asexuality aren't the same thing, just FYI. Aromanticism refers to being physically and/or sexually attracted to others, but not romantically.
Some books seem to have this, but then have the lead fall for someone out of nowhere. Not saying that doesn't happen IRL, but it's not what I'm looking for.

Looking for any books, YA or otherwise, that have aro leads, self-identified or just implied to the reader.

For instance, The Demon's Lexicon has a character that is at least implied to be aromantic to the reader.

So, obviously, fantasy and sci-fi recs are welcome ^-^

Thanks in advance.

Dealing with Dragons is an older book written in a second-wave feminist way; so the female protagonist is easily headcanon-able as aro-ace.

Kristina: The Girl King, Sweden, 1638 is a great one. The real life Kristina was very likely aromantic asexual, and this book reflects that. She expresses disgust at falling in love, getting married, and having children (that's how she really felt).
