A giftable embroidery guide featuring 20 romantasy-inspired designs, step-by-step photography, and patterns tailored to fans of today’s bestselling fantasy romances.

The magic of romantasy is brought to life through twenty embroidery projects inspired by dragons, castles, and gallant heroes. Blending practical instruction with rich, fantasy-influenced design, this book offers a fresh take on contemporary embroidery. 

Projects are organized by difficulty—from beginner-friendly to more intricate patterns—making the book accessible to a wide range of crafters. Clear step-by-step photography ensures each piece can be confidently completed, while the final chapter shows how to turn finished pieces into covetable items such as bookmarks, tote bags, and brooches. 

Tapping into the booming popularity of romantasy, the designs draw on the visual language of best-selling series, giving readers a creative way to connect with the worlds they love—from swooping dragons in Fourth Wing to the glittering cities of ACOTAR. 

A luxurious hardcover format with a foiled cover enhances the book’s gift appeal, positioning it for both dedicated embroiderers and a growing audience of romantasy readers.
