Book cover with a symmetrical, mirrored image of a woman's face, featuring intense eyes and a mystical appearance, with the title "Unwritten Magic" and the author's name "Arden Coutts" at the top.

A story of rebellion, identity, and the kind of love that refuses to kneel.

12/20/25: A fallen kingdom. A buried crown. And a love strong enough to remake the world.

03/24/26: Phew, where has the time gone! I’ve been writing away on The Crown We Bury and am almost done with my zero draft/draft 1! Once that’s finished, I can start with edits, and who knows, maybe TCWB will be out by the end of the year!

06/12/26: I’m about 80% done with TCWB!! I’m really aiming to have a well-edited version of TCWB done by the end of 2026, and I’m on track to achieve that if I keep moving forward. I’m moving into the big final battle now in the first draft, then the self-editing process will begin!


Magic is written in skin—but freedom is carved in fire.

I’ve started outlining and drafting Unwritten Magic! It’s early September, and I hope to have a rough draft done by February 2026. I’m in a bit of a writing slump, so we will see what I can make happen!

12/20/25: Unwritten Magic is on hold for the time being because I am working on a new romantasy that I love dearly that I can’t wait to share with everyone!
