Leina wasn’t supposed to wield a magical weapon or bond with a winged war-horse. She wasn’t supposed to train in a dangerous military fortress, or find love with Ryot, a gods-blessed warrior. And she certainly wasn’t supposed fight for the kingdom that ripped her family apart. As the skies teem with ancient terrors, that very same kingdom looks to Leina to hold back the dark.

Caty Rogan

Caty Rogan writes romantasy for readers who like their magic threaded tightly with emotion, danger, and desire. Her stories balance mythic stakes with intimate character moments, focusing less on spectacle and more on how power, love, and choice collide when gods and mortals brush too close together.

Before turning to fiction, she built a career as an investigative journalist, a path that took her across multiple countries and cultures. That background shows in her writing. There is a clear eye for detail, an instinct for tension, and a habit of asking what people risk when everything familiar is stripped away. Those instincts now shape her fantasy worlds, where heroines are tested not only by prophecy or war, but by their own limits and longings.

Her work is best known through the Eternal Wars romantasy universe, including novels like Kissed by the Gods and related stories that expand its mythological scope. These books blend gods, fate, and romance with a modern sense of voice, favoring emotionally driven storytelling over rigid epic structures. Themes of agency, loyalty, and forbidden attraction recur throughout her fiction, giving her books a strong appeal among readers of paranormal romance and romantasy.

Now based in Arizona, Caty Rogan writes while juggling family life and the quiet routines that make room for imagination. As an emerging author, she continues to shape her voice with each release, building a growing body of work that feels immersive, emotionally charged, and rooted in a deep love for fantasy romance that lingers long after the final page.

The Eternal Wars

The Eternal Wars explores what happens when gods stop observing and start interfering. In this romantasy world, divine beings shape history through bargains, punishments, and quiet manipulations, while mortals are left to survive the fallout. Power is never clean here. Every gift carries a cost, and every miracle leaves a scar.

The series centers on characters who are unwilling participants in conflicts far older than themselves. Rebels, survivors, and reluctant champions move through a landscape defined by prophecy, forbidden attraction, and political unrest. Romance unfolds under pressure, often complicated by immortality, loyalty, and the constant threat of divine control. Love is not a refuge but a risk, one that can tip the balance between freedom and submission.

Atmosphere plays a central role. Magic feels intimate and dangerous rather than grand, revealed through consequences instead of exposition. The worldbuilding expands gradually, allowing myths, rival gods, and ancient wars to surface through personal loss and hard choices. Emotional tension drives the story forward, blending paranormal romance with mythological fantasy and a darker, introspective tone.

Written by Caty Rogan, The Eternal Wars appeals to readers drawn to character-driven fantasy romance, morally complex gods, and slow-burn relationships shaped by fate and defiance. It is a series about agency in a world ruled by immortals, and about how love can become both a weapon and a rebellion when the gods are always watching.


The Eternal Wars consists of one book 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.
