The Undermining of Twyla and Frank

Megan Bannen delivers the rare romantasy that centers characters in their fifties, complete with hot flashes, creaky knees, and the terrifying vulnerability of falling for your best friend. The Tanria worldbuilding is gloriously weird—pink dragons that chirp, donuts as cultural touchstones, and a former god-prison turned marshaling territory. Twyla's stubborn denial of her feelings drives the tension beautifully, and when it finally breaks, the payoff is deeply satisfying. Perfect for readers who want proof that romance doesn't have an expiration date.
