Of Silver and Curses
by Maddox Grey
Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?
If you love morally grey characters who would literally stab each other but also cannot deny the pull between them, this is your book. The banter is razor-sharp, the stakes are personal, and the fated mates trope gets a fresh coat of resentment that makes the eventual payoff deeply satisfying.
Synopsis
LOVE IS A LIE Everyone I’ve cared about has left me. My coven. My mate. Even my sister — the only person I ever truly cared about. All of them walked away. I’ve accepted my fate to be alone. My forest is enough for me and I have no intention of leaving it. But fate has something else in mind. The cursed werewolf who stole my heart for a night — and broke it at dawn — has returned with grim news. Someone has taken both our sisters, and we must work together to save them. But if my enemies discover I’ve left my forest, they’ll stop at nothing to capture me. And I’ll be putting all my trust in a person who loathes my existence... LOVE IS A CURSE Everyone I’ve cared about has suffered from love. I refuse to be bound by it. This kingdom is cruel and devious, which suits me fine because I’m just as wicked and far more clever. But there is one person I love—my sister. And she’s vanished along with her lover — the damn witch’s sister. I’ll do whatever it takes to get her back. Including returning to the witch who deceived me for a night. I may be a wolf trapped in human skin, but it won’t stop me from ripping out her heart once my sister is safe. Because I’m a cursed werewolf…and it was the witches who damned me. Of Silver and Curses is a spicy queer romantasy stand-alone featuring fated mates... who are very much not happy about it. Perfect for fans of stabby morally grey characters, forced proximity, banter and all the found family vibes.
