Supernatural meets Two Broke Girls in the start of a new urban fantasy series, based on the TikTok series CaFae Latte, a paranormal/urban fantasy about a cafe run by fairies. Started on a whim in early 2023, it has since grown hundreds of thousands of followers, prompted a merch store, and is now a novel.
Heart of Iron is the first of the series. No, you do not need to have seen any of the TikToks to read the book, or vice versa.
Heart of Iron is available in paperback, hardback, ebook, and audiobook.
Christina Marie Alongi earned a bachelor’s in history and social justice from Hamline University in 2017. Immediately after graduating, she worked as a community support staff (sort of a personal care assistant plus job coach) for people with disabilities for over two years, including adults with autism, which helped inspire the main character for her debut sci-fi novel, Citadel.
In addition to writing, Alongi created the popular TikTok series CaFae Latte (which is available on YouTube).
