Arran, a widely feared warrior-mage who can manipulate time and space, and his best friend, Hyacinth, an almost-famous actor and talented singer adored by (too) many, find themselves trapped in a recurring nightmare ending with their deaths. Separated amid a blood-soaked war, they keep meeting again, lost in a hazy space between winter and spring, dream and reality, friendship and love.
Praise for The Inescapable March:
Hana Carolina's The Inescapable March is a breathtaking tour-de-force that will sweep fans of dark queer fantasy romance off their feet.
- Seb Doubinsky, author of The City-States Cycle
Featuring a heart-wrenching love story between two compelling characters whose yearning for one another will keep you turning the pages, The Inescapable March asks those who've loved and lost a simple, terrifying question: How many times would you rewind the clock if it meant saving someone you love from certain death?
- S. M. Hallow, author of How to Survive This Fairytale
The Inescapable March left me breathless-a masterfully executed, immersive time loop that blends the horrors of war with the exquisite tension of unresolved romantic longing. Carolina does all this so easily and so joyfully that one cannot help but pause and marvel at what she has crafted. The Inescapable March is an inescapable delight.
- Jennifer Moffatt, author of Flirty Dancing
Hana Carolina's evocative writing style is rich with world-building detail and intense emotion as she guides her readers through her characters' depths of desire. You are sure to enjoy this dark fantasy horror romance.
- Linda Gould, host of the Kaidankai Podcast of Ghost & Supernatural Stories
Hana Carolina cements that love is a constant choice to continue moving forward, and through her gorgeous prose and time-warped events, has crafted a stellar debut
- Lor Gislason, author of The Flesh Of The Sea
Hana Carolina's debut The Inescapable March is a glass tesseract of a novella, overlapping and dizzying, shot through with desperation and claustrophobia. It's a lush, intricate story about love and its sharp edges. A story layered like the spell at its heart, where time and space are warped by the magic of a man who has finally realised he's lost what he never had the strength to accept. A must for fans of gorgeous prose and queer mythic narratives.
- CL Hellisen, author of Cast Long Shadows
The Inescapable March is a dizzy troop through time. Lyrical and bittersweet, tragic and romantic in equal measure-it lingers long after you finish reading
- Elou Carroll, author of countless short stories and EIC of Crow & Cross Keys
