The Tearsmith is one of the great dark romance novels published in 2021 and became one of the best stories of the year, not only among young adult readers but also in the TikTok community.

Written by Erin Doom, the story follows Nica and Rigel Wilde, two young orphans who are willing to discover and accept their greatest fear: that there might be someone who can truly love us for who we are.

Netflix was the streaming giant that carried out its popular adaptation, which not only features the performances of Simone Baldasseroni and Caterina Ferioli as the protagonists but also has a soundtrack full of hits.

How many books does The Tearsmith have?

Unfortunately, Fabbricante di lacrime is a standalone novel, so it is not part of a series or saga. Erin Doom has written other works, but his book is precisely a complete story in itself without sequels or prequels.

Although they share a common past, living together seems impossible for them. Especially when the legend reappears in their lives and the tearsmith becomes something very real.
