The Priestesses Nightmares

Adaline must embark on a long and impossible journey to find out the truth about her past and her identity. Having nothing to rely on but her wits, her visions, and her magic — called upon to make the ultimate choice, will she follow her fate or crumble under the weight of her destiny?

Illusions of Lust

Calliope: I never asked to be a savior. This island has become my prison and my penance. Then he arrives — my Nightmare, tall, dark, and vengeful, vowing to bury me. Perhaps I’ll let him.

Aztyn: Calliope Veritas took everything from me. My obsession grows like a thorned vine. I’ll keep her close — my Little Muse — until I carve the truth from her bones.

The Author

Gothic forest fairy,
dark word witch

“Indie Author & Mentor. Conjurer of immersive bookish events. Devotion. Obsession. Dark Magic.”

Kylie Doyle is a Canadian author, creator, and the mind behind Smut with Substance™ — a signature blend of dark romance and romantasy where heat and heartbreak walk hand in hand. Living in a cozy off-grid tiny home in the wilds of Alberta, she writes stories that are lush, obsessive, and emotionally devastating.

Kylie is the founder of Moonlight Manuscripts, where she guides writers through the full alchemy of storytelling, and the co-founder of Novel Night Events, curating immersive literary experiences that feel like stepping into a living fairytale — often dark, always unforgettable.

“When she’s not plotting deliciously twisted tales or reading tarot by candlelight, she’s inspiring others to live their most authentic, unapologetic lives.”

Through her books, mentorship, and moody, magical content, she has become a trusted voice for indie authors and readers who crave transformation, authenticity, and stories that dare to go deeper.
