Through my stories, I weave romance with wonder, sometimes in the realm of fantasy, sometimes in the quiet corners of reality. I’m Charlotte Bedgood, author, always chasing that spark of magic that makes love unforgettable.

Magic that stays long after the last page.

Thank you @kathlyn_nicole_milne

I’ve been rereading my first book as I write the 3rd and God an audiobook would be so worth it!!

Urban romantasy never sounded so good. Fated mates, touch her and die, morally grey MMC, she’s older than him, ancient Gods, epic monsters and a book series which keeps on giving.

The Odyssey of the Lightning Queen (book 3) releases in 2027 👀

Read the first two on Amazon, or your favourite booksite.

Readers in the wild @megthebookgoblin 😱

I feel absolutely over the moon to have finally met THEE Meg at my film screening (more info over @directornicpott for that side of my life).

You can even tandem 👀

The books follow Arraetta, a lost goddess, and a cursed prince called Seraiah, who are fated to be together in a world on the brink of collapsing to eternal darkness. But as their love unfolds they start to realise that not everything they know is exactly how it seems, especially when fate is orchestrated with such prisition by the Gods.

It is urban romantasy leaning epic (from book 3), with very dark themes.

Remember not everything choice made is the right one.

I love love love found family and think it’s one of the best things about epic fantasy books, especially when they’re in the romantasy space 👀

Keep following for more updates on the book. I want to do this regularly but I also have ADHD so will probably forget.

The Odyssey of the Lightning Queen is the next book in The Sovereign Series with an horrifically terrifying adventure, exploring grief, death and the nightmares we’re all a little scared of.

Let me tell you right now that this is going to be a beast of a book, jam packed with lore and unforeseen twists which will have you gasping at most chapters.

Book three follows The Dawn of the Lightning Goddess, starting exactly where we left off with Arraetta as she attempts to return home, only to find herself pulled into something much bigger than the prophecy of fated love.

This is the booktok book you’ll be begging to read. Trust me, you won’t want to miss it. Alas, I should probably finish it first 👀

Who doesn’t love yearning men? Come and meet Seraiah 👀👑

He never believed in love, nor in mercy, no matter the fate the Gods intended for him.

Until a chance meeting with Arraetta.

From the moment she enters his world, she becomes the one thing he cannot release. Her power calls to his, her presence anchors him, and her safety becomes his obsession. He keeps his darkness hidden from her, not out of shame, but fear of what it might cost her if she ever sees it. She sees the man beneath the monster, even as he risks destroying that fragile truth with every secret he keeps.

The “emotionally unavailable man becoming unbearably gentle with one woman” trope will do it for me every single time.

You can tandem both books too, if you fancy.

I’m curious about how long it’ll take me to finish this book! I’m aiming for around forty chapters, which is about the same length as The Insurgence of the Cursed Prince. It’s a big adventure filled with a found family, romantic tension, unexpected twists, and that age-old yearning between lovers separated by fate.

This is book 3 in The Sovereign Series and it continues with Arraetta’s journey after the first book. Once I wrap this one up, I’ll dive into the fourth book, where we’ll follow Seraiah’s journey leading up to the grand finale. ❤️

Are you ready for the next adventure? Buckle up, it’s going to be a long and treacherous journey 👀

I loved writing this chapter today, seeing the whole book come together and typing like a mad woman with my music blaring in my ears at a cafe is super fun. I average on chapter every three hours with some procrastination!

The Odyssey of the Lightning Goddess is the 3rd book in my series but follows on from The Dawn of the Lightning Goddess when we find out what really happened in the aftermath of that cliffhanger!! And it’s not a slow beginning, we are straight into chaos from chapter one and I will not stop until the final chapter which will be… another cliffhanger. Obvs.

Who’s excited?

It feels amazing to be writing again! Maybe it’s because I have assignments looming for my MA that I’m procrastinating on, but I’m really pushing myself to finish ten chapters in four weeks. That would be a huge milestone for me!

I’ve been busy. I’ll admit. I took on an MA in film last year and it’s taken over my life, and I struggle as it is to do more than one book a year.

I did write a book last year, of course. A separate book but this… this you see here? This is The Odyssey of the Lightning Queen, Arraetta’s sequel and it’s really starting off with a shock factor.

To be honest, the whole book is going to be unskippable.

2027 here we come!! Who’s ready?

She sees the man beneath the monster, even as he risks destroying that fragile truth with every secret he keeps.

As his kingdom begins to shatter, his focus narrows. Love blooms, twisted and consuming. Alliances fracture. Betrayals fester among those he once trusted.

Because who can truly trust in a kingdom built on blood?

The Insurgence of the Cursed Prince.

The forsaken prince. The cursed son. A weapon forged by Gods and grief. He will stop at nothing to claim the throne that is rightfully his from his tyrannical father.

But as the battle for power rages, so does the darkness buried deep within him, waiting to be unleashed one fracture at a time. The curse coils beneath his skin, feeding on his fury, his loss, and his damnation. He never believed in love, nor in mercy, no matter the fate the Gods intended for him.

📚: The Dawn of the Lightning Goddess x The Insurgence of The Cursed Prince

Residing in modern-day London, Arraetta’s life has always been marked by chaos: strange visions, mysterious blackouts, and a past she can’t remember.

A chance meeting draws her into the orbit of Seraiah, a cursed prince from another realm, trapped in a kingdom that longs to tear him apart.

Instead, they choose defiance. Together, they navigate wounding magic, love which risks everything, and a future no prophecy can contain.

I’ve learned something since my diagnosis: my brain is wired to never stop creating. But sometimes? That also means I forget to pause and celebrate the stories that are already here.

⚡ The Dawn of the Lightning Goddess - where lightning is both a curse and a gift.
👑 The Insurgence of the Cursed Prince - where an heir waits eighty winters for his queen, and obsesses over her when she arrives.

ADHD doesn’t make me less of an author.

It makes me an author who is endlessly curious, endlessly resilient, and endlessly full of stories.
And today, I’m reminding myself (and maybe you, too): it’s okay to slow down, honour your past creations, and give them the love they deserve.

✨ Because the stories we’ve already written are just as magical as the ones still waiting to be told.
