State: Utah
K.C. Woodruff writes immersive, morally complex dark fantasy steeped in family, grief, and raw emotion. Their debut novel, Dawn of the Darkest Day (2023), introduces the Soultappers Saga, where a dying magical world collides with brutal politics, divine destinies, and fraught, slow-burn romantic tension. The narrative unfolds through multiple viewpoints—Ara, a reluctant queen and engineer; Stedd, her artistic and conflicted lover; and Vayne, the calculating warlord king. Inspired by video games and tabletop RPGs, Woodruff builds tension-laden scenes, intricate betrayals, and high emotional stakes grounded in a dying empire and fading magic system. They balance writing with family life and are an active presence on Instagram and Goodreads, sharing progress on future books and novellas. Readers are drawn to the raw blend of romance, vengeance, and complex worldbuilding in K.C.’s storytelling
