Darkest Rose by Vera Morgana follows Ella Desouza, the only daughter of the Desouza household, who meets a young man on the night of her coming of age ceremony. The two fall in love instantly; however, there are obstacles standing in the way of their love. The biggest obstacle is that Edmund is from the Gilmore household, the sworn enemy of the Desouza family, and the fact that Ella is to be married off to another. Magic, love, twisted plots, and past lives all play a part in the tangled web of the love between the two. Can their love overcome all the odds and right the wrongs of the past? Darkest Rose by Vera Morgana is any romance fan's dream, incorporating various elements such as magic, past lives, and a bit of mythology. This book is the gift that keeps on giving and I found it hard to put down once I started reading. I loved the little plot twist throughout the story which made it exciting. I really liked the main characters and their love story which very much gave off the same vibe as Romeo and Juliet, considering the fact that their families had such a long-standing rivalry. The writing in this story was good although at times it did seem a bit fast-paced. However, that can be forgiven considering the overall plot. Other than that, I genuinely enjoyed reading Darkest Rose and would highly recommend it to any fan of romance novels, especially those who love romance with a twist.
Darkest Rose
Ella Desouza is a girl with a gift she doesn’t understand and a future she doesn’t want. Edmund Gilmore is a boy with a thirst for adventure driven by a purpose he cannot explain. When the two meet by an apparent mishap, they fall so deeply for each other they suspect it cannot have been a fluke.
Unbeknownst to the young lovers, this is not their first courtship. Twenty years ago an evil force intervened to destroy their future by tragedy. Even now in their present incarnations, that same cryptic enemy stalks them once again. Ella’s arranged engagement is far from the darkest cloud over their heads.
Gradually, the two become aware of special powers they possess which might properly equip them for defeating their true foe, though they have yet to fully identify it. Magick and love together form a powerful arsenal.
What love alone could not previously achieve, can magick conquer this time?

Hi, I’m Nitisha. I grew up in a world that told me to follow the script, but somewhere along the way I traded the script for a compass. These days, I follow where my feet and heart lead, from sleepy towns to saltwater coves, capturing stories that feel like home even when I’m far from it.
