Unclaimed

Unclaimed is a dark paranormal fantasy that follows Ciarra, a young woman scarred by a brutal past with the Dark Moon Guardians-a faction of supernatural enforcers who once branded her a threat and left her for dead. Now living in hiding, she masks her scent with dangerous herbs and suppresses the ancient power coiled beneath her skin. But when an archaeological dig in Ireland unearths something not meant to be found, her fragile anonymity begins to unravel. Haunted by visions, pulled by something older than myth, Ciarra is forced to confront the truth she's buried: she is not fully human, and she was never meant to live quietly. As the line between past and present begins to blur, she must face the legacy of gods, monsters, and a war long thought buried beneath the soil. Her inner beast-River-is waking. And the world is watching. Caught between the mortal friend who's stood by her side, the vampire who knows too much, and the Alpha whose presence strips her defences bare, Ciarra walks a razor's edge between survival and destiny. But power always comes with a price-and she's already paid once in blood. Set against the mist-laced landscapes of Ireland and the heat of Perth's suburbs, Unclaimed is a story of trauma, resistance, and the slow, aching journey of reclaiming selfhood after everything has been stolen. As gods stir and fate tightens its grip, Ciarra must choose whether to run from the past-or rise with it. With emotionally rich characters, immersive mythology, and a slow-burn romance crackling beneath every confrontation, Unclaimed is the first book in a dark fantasy series where the scars we carry might just be the key to everything. Perfect for readers who crave emotional depth, mythic resonance, and heroines who refuse to be tamed.
