The Curse of Dawn by Coda Languez is a dark fantasy romance about a broken soldier and a cursed woman with stars in her eyes.
About the Book
Cole Holton — a former military man discharged after wounds to body and mind, drowning in PTSD — has decided that death is the only way to silence the war inside him. Then he meets a woman with stars in her eyes and a curse haunting her heart, and his ending becomes a beginning. Originally serialized on Kindle Vella, The Curse of Dawn is now a complete dark fairytale.
What to Expect
This is Coda Languez at her tenderest — but tender doesn’t mean soft. The Curse of Dawn takes mental illness, military trauma, and cosmic curse seriously, and lets two damaged people find something honest in the dark. Magical realism layered over a deeply emotional love story, with Coda’s signature willingness to sit with the hard parts.
