Blackened: Seeds and Shadows Book 2

By K.W. Bernard

The stronger their spells, the better they taste.

I ache with every whiff of magic, wondering what victim I'll grope in the dark to satisfy my need. A mage whose spells I'll drink with reckless abandon while he chokes on terrified screams? The brutal warrior who burns with more than rage when I caress her granite flesh and conjure sweet shivers in her core? Or will the woman I love sacrifice her strength to ease my endless hunger, though she suffers the same thirst?

Each of them is prey.

I don't mind being a predator. Life treated me like an animal, prodding until I bit. It made me wild and ravenous. But this is different... Now, I'm something worse.

The world picked the wrong man to turn into a monster.

I'll devour it all.

Blackened is the second book in the Seeds and Shadows trilogy, a romantic dark fantasy series featuring spell-sucking monsters, dark magic, armed scoundrels, and romance that's more spicy than sweet.

Like the first book, this story is for readers who think fires burn hottest between enemies and brightest in the shadows. Blackened is darker and dirtier than Drained.
