Set in a lush world inspired by the history and folklore of South America, The Sun and the Void is a sweeping epic fantasy of colonialism and country, ancient magic, and a young woman's quest for belonging. 

When Reina arrives at Aguila Manor, her heart stolen from her chest, she’s on the verge of death—until her estranged grandmother, a dark sorceress in the Don’s employ, intervenes. Indebted to a woman she never knew, and smitten with the upper-caste daughter of the house, Celeste, Reina will do anything to earn–and keep–the family’s favor. Even the bidding of the ancient god who speaks to her from the Manor’s foundations. To save the woman she loves, Reina will have to defy the gods themselves, and become something she never could have imagined.

Gabriela Romero Lacruz

Gabriela Romero Lacruz is a writer whose roots run deep in the heart of Venezuela, but her storytelling now stretches across the realms of fantasy to capture the imaginations of readers around the world. Known for blending South American folklore with epic, dark fantasy, Gabriela’s work invites readers to dive into worlds filled with ancient gods, magic, and a deep sense of cultural heritage.

Her journey from engineering to storytelling was not a straight line, but a beautiful evolution. Gabriela began her academic career with a degree in chemical engineering from the University of Houston, yet it was the call of art and literature that truly captured her soul. Her love for stories rooted in her Venezuelan background led her to craft narratives that not only transport readers to fantastical realms but also reflect the intricate, layered worlds she knows so well.

Her debut novel, The Sun and the Void, introduces readers to a stunning, richly constructed world inspired by South American culture, where power struggles, ancient magic, and deeply personal journeys converge. It’s a story that isn’t just about the clash of gods but about the bonds that tie people to their history, their families, and each other. The novel quickly earned critical acclaim, becoming a Sunday Times bestseller and earning praise for its complex characters, world-building, and bold narrative.

Gabriela’s upcoming sequel, The River and the Star, continues her exploration of these epic themes and promises to deepen the connection readers have with her characters and their world. As part of her The Warring Gods series, her work continues to push boundaries, exploring themes of love, power, sacrifice, and the resilience of the human spirit.

When she’s not writing, Gabriela channels her creativity into visual art, illustrating book covers under the name The Moonborn. This combination of visual and literary talent infuses her stories with a unique depth and atmosphere, offering her readers not only an engaging tale but an immersive experience.

A storyteller at heart, Gabriela’s work is a tribute to the myths, landscapes, and cultures that shaped her. As she continues to share her vision with the world, it’s clear that her journey is just beginning—an artist and author whose voice is sure to resonate with readers for years to come.
