My books

Every time someone knocked me down, I wiped the blood off my heart and climbed to my feet, ready to go again.

Society darling Aphrodite longs to be more than just an influencer – she plans to join the Olympian Council of Twelve, and finally become indebted to no one and nothing.

Those wishes are burned to ash the night a stranger comes to Olympus and strikes a deal with Zeus. If he marries Aphrodite and brings Zeus his first grandchild, he’ll be crowned heir to Olympus.

It sounds simple. Except Zeus would prefer to see them both dead, rather than expose the secrets buried at the heart of this deal. And backed into a corner with no way out, the goddess has plans of her own, and no intention of letting these two men decide her fate…

A paranormal Greek mythology retelling of Aphrodite and Hephaestus, filled with romance, magic, and feminine rage.

The disgraced God of War has no interest in training a stubborn Muse with a 💀 wish. He's the god the Olympians threw away, and he's long since traded battlefields for the bottom of a bottle.

But as he gets pulled into a tangled web of ancient grudges and monsters alongside Callie, he comes to realise he has far more to lose than he ever believed...

In London's Dark Waters is a stand-alone paranormal romance for fans of Percy Jackson and Illona Andrews. Expect a Greek mythology retelling set in the modern world, packed with gods, monsters, and slow burn romance.

Truly gorgeous character art by the talented @agapidraws 🥰

There's a few new faces round here, so thought I'd better reintroduce myself.

Hi! I'm Emelia Langstone, indie author of Greek mythology inspired romances, and my books almost weren't published...

I still can't believe that Ares' story has been living rent free in my head since 2021, but In London's Dark Waters only released this July! That's a crazy long time to wait to share his story with you all!

Still, I learned a LOT doing things the slow way around, and I met and worked with an incredible crew of editors and publishing specialists so (literally) taught me everything I know.

There was probably a quicker way of launching a book...but sometimes slow is best 😅

I love their banter 😂

When Callie's sister goes missing, she's forced to turn to the one god Olympus threw away...Ares, God of War.

Ares has long since traded battlefields for the bottom of a bottle. He has no interest in playing mentor to a stubborn muse with a 💀 wish.

But as the darkness of London's undercity closes in all around them, he comes to realise he has far more to lose than he ever believed...
