Taste of Madness
My choice is made on how to move forward after saying goodbye to the four men that each own a piece of my heart, but the earth doesn’t agree.
My connection with the planet and the threads of fate I was created to wield are gone. Only deafening silence remains.
So I do the only thing I can: I forge my own path, alone and determined.
A human stronghold waits at the edge of that path, a city the kings swore would never be worthy of me. There, in the shadows of their war, I hunt for answers and find ugly truths buried under patriotic oaths, whispered orders that stink of evil, and a human who ruins my careful resolve just by existing.
Colonel Ryoden Kane arrests me as a possible enemy, yet guards me like a treasure and believes in me even with the earth’s back turned. We strike a fake engagement—a careful lie we wear like armor so I can walk beside him into the heart of human power—but with every step we take hand in hand, pretending feels a little less simple. Somewhere between duty and desire, I forget this love is a lie.
Together we hunt for a way to save this world, but what we uncover is far worse than I imagined. The deeper we go, the clearer it becomes: If I want to save this world, I’ll have to put my faith in those I love more than ever.
Time is ticking and a choice must be made, yet I don’t know if I’ll be able to live with it.
Author note: This is book two in the "Woven in Time" trilogy. This book will end on a cliffhanger.

R.L. Caulder
In the shifting shadows of fantasy and paranormal romance, R.L. Caulder has made a quiet kind of noise—one that echoes through darkened corridors, forgotten realms, and the haunted corners of the heart. Her stories aren't just read—they’re experienced, like stepping into a dream where the monsters are beautiful, and the heroes are broken in all the right ways.
Caulder began her journey not with a publishing deal or a polished plan, but with a question: What if the villain wasn’t the villain at all? From that seed grew a library of richly imagined series like Blood Oath, The Monsters We Crave, and The Wicked Monsters—books that blur the line between danger and desire. Her characters wrestle with power, pain, and passion, often in worlds teetering on the edge of ruin. But for all their fangs and fury, it’s the emotional undercurrents—the betrayals, the longing, the bonds forged in fire—that leave a lasting mark.
Woven in Time
In a world torn by forgotten wars and stitched together by fractured timelines, Woven in Time offers a haunting blend of fantasy romance and slow-burning suspense. The story opens in the aftermath of bloodshed, where a woman wakes with no name, no memories—only the echo of power coiled inside her and the eyes of creatures who seem to know more than they say. A wraith wrapped in shadow, a silver-tongued fae, a vampire who feeds on more than blood, and a shape-shifter with a predator's patience—all watching, waiting.
Woven in Time consists of two books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
