  The main character is an aroace healer. It is a YA, somewhat-historical fantasy (taking place in what would be the 1920's in the USA but is a magical realm).

  The main character is aromantic. Also a fantasy, it starts with the protagonist falling through a blackhole and finding herself in the middle of a fantasy realm.

• The Last 8

  Pohl, Laura,

  Add The Last 8 to your for later shelf

  Clover is aromantic bisexual stuck on an alien decimated Earth. So here's an option that isn't fantasy!

• Elatsoe

  Little Badger, Darcie, 1987-

  Add Elatsoe to your for later shelf

  Ellie is asexual and pretty repulsed by romance, making her likely more closely tied to greyromantic than entirely aromantic. This book is a bit of a magical realism murder mystery.

• Moonshine

  Gower, Jasmine

  It's the third in the series, so if you don't want spoilers start with the first one in the Sidekick Squad series. It's on this list because this one is from the POV of Emma, who is aroace. She's got to fight a corrupt group of heroes, so…Read moreRead more of this annotation

• The Midnight Bargain

  Polk, C. L. (Chelsea L.),

  Add The Midnight Bargain to your for later shelf

  So I cheated again with this one because it is a romance novel, but hear me out, it's also about female friendship and one of the significant characters is, Ysbeta, is aromantic. The world is regency based with magic seamlessly sewn in and…Read moreRead more of this annotation
