Romantasy smashes romance and fantasy together until the line between them stops existing. Magic systems and love interests get equal page time. The romance doesn't take a back seat to the quest — it IS the quest, or at least runs parallel at the same intensity. If you want court politics, magical bonds, and a love interest who could kill you, you're in the right place.
