SPELLS FOR LIfe and death
A contemporary fantasy-romance duology from Tor Publishing Group about two rival Medievalists and a rural safe haven torn asunder by a meddlesome witch who covets their magical gifts.
“Cosy like a favorite sweater and thick with atmosphere like fog on a winter night... Agajanian’s debut had me under its spell from start to finish. Utterly magical.”
“Stylish, moody, with an atmosphere thick enough to drown in, Modern Divination is the cosy contemporary fantasy of my dreams.”

Heavy metal lover
Coming November 25, 2025
A standalone sapphic sci-fi romance about an injured motorcycle rider returning to the illicit street race that left her an amputee and the political fallout that comes with winning a grand prize meant as a bribe from a corrupt family at the head of the city.
“Heavy Metal Lover is an edge-of-your-seat cyberpunk thriller with prose you can sink your teeth into. Agajanian treats us to an achingly sexy sapphic romance, adrenaline-fueled motorcycle racing, and political intrigue, all bathed in the rain-wet glitter of a near-future city. It’s magnetic, addictive, and grounded in the what ifs of our own reality. This is science fiction done right”
“A slick, neon-drenched joyride, revving with defiance and heat. Agajanian’s thrilling cyberpunk adventure sizzles off the page, an electrifying sapphic heart at its core that’s as tenacious as it is sultry. Heavy Metal Lover is an absolute live wire of a book that will leave you buzzing.”
