Paranormal Romance

Fog on the water.
A pull you can't outrun.

Owen Rivers writes slow-burn, atmospheric paranormal romance set in the mist and folklore of the Appalachian South — starting with the Lunar Claimed series.

The Lunar Claimed Series

Lake Lanier keeps its secrets — until the moon calls them up.

A love triangle, a found-family pack, and a prophecy that's been waiting for centuries, set against the mist and moonlight of a small Georgia lake town.

About

Written slow, on purpose.

Owen Rivers writes the kind of paranormal romance that lingers in the fog rather than rushing through it — moody nature imagery, small-town secrets, and a found-family pack at the center of every book. The stories draw on Appalachian folklore and atmosphere as inspiration for original fiction, not as a claim to any real tradition.

The Lunar Claimed series began with Cursed Wolves of Lanier, set on the misted shores of a small Georgia lake town, and has grown into a five-book arc built around a single prophecy that's been waiting a long time to come due. A standalone gothic vampire romance, Carmilla, is next.
