THE FEALTY OF MONSTERS Illustrated by @t-hornapple

@jonphaedrus provides the best summary of this grimdark political fantasy perfect for independence day:

“you are the proletariat in petrograd for the october revolution. you go to kill the czar but—oh wait! the vampire."

The way he enjoyed how fun and gross this book about violently preventing a forever war makes me so pleased with myself

$1.99 through July 8th on Kobo

Winter 1917. After years on the run from a dangerous cult, twenty-three-year-old Sasza and his father have established themselves among the Odonic Empire’s ruling class. But there’s a problem: Sasza is a vampire, and vampires aren’t supposed to get involved in human governance. What the aristocracy doesn’t know, after all, cannot hurt them.

Unfortunately, Sasza is far more involved than a stealth vampire should be. Not only does he work to quell the rumors of the vampires’ responsibility for an unsolved massacre, his lover is also the pro-proletariat Ilya, the Empire’s Finance Minister, who tries to recruit Sasza into the same cult hunting him.

Then—the Emperor declares war against the Vampire States. Diplomacy has failed. Sasza quickly learns that he will do anything to preserve peace–including giving in to the monstrosity he spent so many years concealing from even himself.
