The Laboratory Assistant

Coming June 2026 with Apprentice House Press

Find works where passion, shadow, and transformation intertwine

A young woman displaced from her inheritance and class finds refuge in a laboratory where science, discipline, and desire collide. As the old world fractures and revolution gathers its breath, she must decide what she is willing to sacrifice: morality, love, or herself, to survive what is coming.

Natalia Loya writes historical fiction that explores power, desire, and the fragile boundary between reason and belief. Her work is drawn to moments of cultural fracture, where private longing collides with public collapse.
