About Astari

Dark romantasy born in the hollows, written toward the stars.

Astari is an author of dark romancy who has woven her personal trauma experiences into dark romances of divine fixation, southern gothic horror, and taboo love stories. Astari gives voice to suffering through mythology and survival through magic, turning pain into legend and worshiping the scars of people who are broken. Astari writes for people who seek beauty within the dark, the moon, and the terrifying act of knowing oneself by deities that could be left as fable.
