Ink, Blood, and Other Afflictions
(2026)(The fifth book in the Ink, Blood, and Other Afflictions series)
A novel by Kristen Coar
For the first time since the Goddess claimed her, Vera’s life is… quiet. No bodies. No blood. No monsters clawing at the door. It should feel like peace. It doesn’t.
Because Nikolai is changing.
The curse that bound his pleasure to pain and death is breaking, and with it, the control he’s held for centuries. Feeling is coming back. Hunger with it. And Vera can’t tell if she’s still the center of it, or just the safest place to land.
But something older is stirring. Something he ran from four hundred years ago. He can feel her getting closer. The dragon he failed to kill—the one who knows exactly what he is, what he wants. And no matter how hard he tries, he can’t warn them.
Because when she comes, it won’t be for the world. It will be for him.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
