Cursed Desire

By T R Ortego

Ruby

As a witch in Vlideron, she should be in complete control of her emotions. She should be dispassionate in enforcing the laws of the Great King. She shouldn't hold attachment to others. She should follow her elders words without question.

When Ruby proves incapable of these mandates once more, she is set on a path of discovery that sends her careening towards death while experiencing a whole new life.

Dorian

While some would say that Vlideron had changed greatly over the centuries, Dorian would argue that the corruption simply grew closer to the surface. He would know. His vampiric life has afforded him a front row seat for it all. His favorite pastime as a vigilante has filled his need to address the problems, as well as the years spent alone.

But his pastime has finally been discovered, putting his future into question and ending his quiet life of secretly slaughtering evil.

One curse. Two people, bound by circumstances and intrigue in a world of lies, corruption, and beauty found in the most unexpected places.

Book One of a slow-burn fantasy romance. A consent-lover's dream featuring characters who don't look to the law for their morality.
