An INSTANT New York Times Bestseller!

Filled with elemental magic, forbidden romance, and breathtaking twists, Nightweaver is a propulsive romantasy about an iron-willed heroine avenging her brother and discovering her destiny—perfect for fans of Powerless and Heartless Hunter.

Six hundred years ago, Nightweavers, cursed beings with untamed power, claimed the continents for their own. The ocean was meant to be a safe haven for humanity, including seventeen-year-old Aster Oberon and her pirate family. But after Aster’s brother is killed in an epic battle at sea against Nightweavers, Aster and her family are thrust into a new life on land.

When a handsome Nightweaver named Will offers the Oberons protection and work at his opulent estate, Aster is suspicious. As the arrogant and entitled right hand to the wicked prince, Will is everything that she has been taught to hate. But as he shows empathy and kindness, Aster can’t ignore a blooming attraction. And even more, Will opens her eyes to a new reality: There are monsters worse than Nightweavers, monsters who may be behind her brother’s death.

As Aster hunts the creatures responsible, dark secrets threaten to unravel everything she once believed about her family, herself, and her world.

An Amazon Best Book of March 2025

"Hand this book to readers who would take their Downton Abbey with a side of sword fights and pirates." —BCCB

"Gray spins [this] tale with polished prose, brisk storytelling, and a welcome sense of what a fantastical life actually feels like... Blending the freshly inventive with genre traditions, Nightweaver and its promised sequel will appeal to YA fantasy fans who adore conflicted love triangles and strong young women on a mission." —BookLife Reviews

"From the blood-soaked decks of pirate ships to the shadow-drenched corridors of Bludgrave Manor, Nightweaver is a tempest of vengeance and forbidden desire. R.M. Gray paints a world where danger lurks like shadows beneath the waves, teeming with monsters, magic, and breathtaking twists that will leave you gasping for air. A debut that glimmers with unforgettable characters, thrilling adventure, and a world as dark and seductive as the ocean depths. You won't want to put this down." —Logan Karlie, author of Dream by the Shadows

I’ve had this book on my TBR since it was indie published. I finally took the time to listen to it now that it is traditionally published. It was SO good and I’m sad I waited so long to read/listen to it!

I’ve not read a ton of fantasy books, but this is definitely a new one for me. The ones I have read all seem to have similar storylines and aspects, but this one was totally different than anything I’ve read. It definitely has aspects of Pirates of the Caribbean (which is what the author was going for), but has fun twists to it that I’m obsessed with.

There is romance, but it’s not the focus of the story by any means. It is just added in for a deeper plot. There is a strong female main character, but she also has flaws and challenges. There was a lot of action and some dark aspects, but it is an amazing story told very well.

Magic and Pirates?!

A fantastic fantasy romance novel! The world is rich in magic, mayhem and desire. I'm hoping to hear more of Aster's daring deeds on the high seas soon! One who has to balance the happiness of her family against the wild freedom of her heart. My only critique, I wish to hear more tales from the Lightbringer. Maybe some short stories in a separate book?

The sea is calling to me!

For readers craving a story that sweeps them into starry nights, the salty embrace of ocean waves, and the elegance of grand ballrooms, Nightweaver delivers all this and more. Some of my favorite tropes in the book—one horse, the battle between light and dark, and the balance between freedom and safety. This book is a must-read for those seeking adventure, romance, and magic.

The world-building is lush and immersive, pulling readers into a realm where myths and secrets intertwine. At its heart, Aster’s journey is one of choice—torn between the call of the sea and the unexpected bonds she finds on land. As she navigates familial loyalty, loss, vengeance, and destiny, her struggle resonates deeply.

One of my favorite lines from the book says it best: “I have faced darkness before, and I have conquered it. I can choose to do it again.” It perfectly captures Aster’s resilience and the novel’s powerful themes of identity and choice.
