The Daughters of Chaos Series
An adult space sci-fi and fae romance fantasy series critically praised and loved by readers
How far would you go to protect the woman you desired?
What if she was the daughter of your enemy?
Renna Strongborn is on the verge of obtaining her Ph.D. All she needs is to hide her chaotic powers in a planet that persecutes magic. But when a dark force hunts her down, she uses her magic to fight back. Now Renna is on the run.
Khellios, the God of the Moon and the Stars, is plagued with guilt over the loss of his betrothed, Renna. When Khellios is summoned by a reincarnated Renna and she is in danger from the same dark force that killed her before, he must protect her at all costs. Especially when that dark force is her father—his enemy. Problem is, Renna does not remember Khellios and he is not the only one from Renna’s past trying to keep her from harm…
Sethos, a fae with unusual magic and questionable morals, has been watching over Renna, drawing her nearer to keep her safe. He now visits within her dreams.
Conflicted by her desires, Renna is pulled between the men who are willing to fight for her. But as lies are unveiled and origins of Renna’s magic come to light, there’s more than one heart on the line.
Selected as one of the Best Books of 2024 in the print and digital magazine editions of Publisher’s Weekly and Kirkus Reviews Magazine.

What readers are saying…

“A god of moonlight and stardust is a great introduction into what could be a complex fantasy world that rivals any of the current book favourites.”
“This story has good bones. The setting being intergalactic was pretty genius. It gave the story a sci-fi feel mixed with fantasy. It’s not something you see done at the moment.”
Would you give up revenge for love?
Renna Strongborn is the long-lost daughter of the God of Darkness, Chaos, and Ruin. And she wants nothing to do with him or the dark magic she’s inherited. But as her father lures closer she has no option but learn to master her powers- even if it comes at a devastating price. Now, in a sanctuary for criminal fae, Renna trains with Sethos to become her own weapon.
Fae king Sethos has yet to fulfil a promise made to his kingdom over seven years ago: kill Khellios, the gods, and avenge his homeland. And now the throne he sits on is threatened, and to keep it, he must wage war on his enemies. But when he realizes Renna’s magic may help him in battle, his morality is tested.
When the bond between Renna and Sethos falters, she faces a horrifying choice: stand beside the man she loves or reject her evil legacy. But can Sethos forget his painful past and fully give himself to the woman he loves?

Critical praise for Book Two
“A fantasy rooted in emotional truth and psychological depth . . . that teases the lines between love and revenge. — BookLife Reviews (a division of Publisher's Weekly)
“A brilliantly executed installment in a series about vengeance and self-determination.” — Kirkus Reviews
What readers are saying…
““Can villains be redeemed? Can you love and hate someone at the same time? Can trust ever be rebuilt after betrayal?
An Heir of Darkness and Ruin explores all of that and more, diving deep into the complexities of love, power, and morality.””
““If you love the long journey of “coming into your own power” from the Plated Prisoner series. If you love the complex world of the God and Monsters series. If you love the “the first partner is not necessarily the last” style, from Sarah J Maas. I guarantee you will eat up this series for those elements.””
““Well, Mina has done it again. Stayed up past my bedtime, reached the cliffhanger and stayed up staring into space after I finished.””
How far can someone fall before they are truly irredeemable?
Betrayed and vulnerable, Renna has learned she cannot trust anyone with her safety—or her heart. But when she realizes saving Sethos may stop the looming war, she must convince others he is worth saving.
Raven haired warrior Aeroth, the merciless King of the Astral Plane, has a tumultuous past filled with vicious battles and bouts of vampiric bloodlust. When he is recruited to slay Sethos, he gladly accepts. That all changes when the beautiful and headstrong Renna enters his life . . . his mate.
As Aeroth and Renna embark on a race across galaxies to the gods and Sethos, a ruinous attraction mounts between them, and every kiss and touch catapults their hearts into disaster.
War is coming and time is running out. For Renna, falling in love is the last thing on her mind while for Aeroth falling in love may prove deadly.
Early critical praise for Book Three
“The book delivers what it promises with heart, heat, and imaginative power: a high-stakes romantasy with a little bite…Delicious romantasy powered by urgent conflict and rich series lore”. — BookLife Reviews (a division of Publisher's Weekly)
What readers are already saying…
“I am loving this sci-fi Romantasy series. Mina does an amazing job being descriptive without confusion and did an excellent job with character development. Now, with the completion of book 3, it continues to be fast paced with twists and ending with a cliffhanger.”
“I have been on this series journey with Mina since right after her first book release, which has been an honor. But I’m here saying this with my whole chest and my personal ability to be very loud: THIS BOOK WAS MY FAVORITE! . . .
This book was one that hooked me from start to finish and The Daughters of Chaos series keeps getting better ”
“ My only “complaint” is the cliff-hanger. Castillo is a mastermind at leaving the reader wanting one more chapter. This is a must read (after you’ve binged books 1&2).”
Renna’s story concludes in Book 4…
Stay tuned for Book 4’s 2027 release updates.
