About the Book
War turns us all feral.
The loyalists bend, but do not break. Casualties pile higher and victory is just out of reach. Anca shields Eugen from the war as the Household’s feuding alliance reaches its limit. Worst of all, Anca fears that she is not cruel enough to end this war. Her love for Eugen cuts as much as it soothes. The shadow of House Furloc looms large as he explores who he is without the Blood Flame. When a legend from his past returns, Eugen is forced to reckon with a legacy he chose to leave behind.
Their love is tested as the war pulls Anca deeper into the commander’s chair. No matter what Eugen says, this is Anca’s war. Her burden to bear. She can carry the cost, no matter how great, until she is forced to choose between Eugen and victory. An unlikely ally offers her a way to end the war at the cost of Eugen’s life. Caught between duty and love once again, her choice will bring the old order crashing down around them. Unseen enemies move to topple House Sulia once and for all. Legend becomes reality and Households will burn. In the thrilling finale to the Fated Hunters duology, Anca must face if she is really any better than the monsters she hunts.
About J Von Tobel
"The only thing worth writing about is the human heart in conflict with itself." - G.R.R. Martin Quoting Faulkner.
These are the kinds of stories J wants to tell. With a preponderance towards Dungeons & Dragons, sexy vampires, and Lovecraftian nightmares, it isn't surprising J ended up writing romantasy. A Chicagoan for ten years, J is an active member of the Chicago North Romance Writers. J Von Tobel is the author of the Fated Hunters Duology, the first in the series being Fated to be Monsters. Curse of Flame, their debut novel, is a dark fantasy novel which acts as the first chapter in a new trilogy. They hope to write more in this world and others beyond.
