Hello!

I cannot thank you enough for being part of this journey. If I could buy each of you a gallon of ice cream and bouquet of flowers, I would 💖

Like all of us, I grew up in a patriarchal world. The result was an extraordinarily difficult transition into adulthood from which I have only recently emerged, and certainly not unscathed.

One reason I am so obsessed with Nuama and its women is because they get to live a reality most of us only dream of. One where they are always safe, always respected, and where they come first.

Literally. And often.

But it’s not just about sex—we live in a world where women (especially mothers/WOC) are often last to be recognized and celebrated. Nuama challenges that reality—not just in the bedchamber, but everywhere.

Writing these stories has both softened and radicalized me—I hope they do the same for you. I remain absolutely privileged and humbled to be the teller of these tales.

With love,

Ariana August

Before you start

Both series are for adults. MOTHS is dark fantasy first — open-door when the heat arrives, but the spine of it is the world, the throne, and what’s coming through from the other side. Nuama After Dark is the spicy one: low-angst, standalone, and always focused on her pleasure.

The books contain sexual violence. It is always committed by antagonists, always treated as exactly what it is, and never used as spectacle — but it begins early, and I’d rather you knew before you opened a book than after. The FAQ lays out exactly where it appears and what’s on the page.
