“Morgan Dante is a master at peeling back every layer to the (in)human condition in ways that are guaranteed to put a lump in your throat and keep you turning pages well into the night. I can’t recommend this book enough—Astarion walked so this story could run.” — T.D. Cloud, author of INFAUST and OSSUARY
“Bloody and opulent, SACRAMENT is a heart-rending experience best savored. Morgan Dante’s masterful prose encapsulates the longing and malaise of Paris at the turn of the century, but it is their elegant details of depravity…that shape SACRAMENT’s haunting, unforgettable atmosphere. Characters both beloved and loathed seek redemption, revenge, or something between the two—all of which SACRAMENT thoroughly examines through class struggle, an ancient vampiric hierarchy, and generational trauma spanning centuries.” — Magnus Thorne, author of THE LION’S HUNT
From the author of dark, lyrical, and Gothic works like PROVIDENCE GIRLS and THE SAINT OF HEARTBREAK comes a masterclass in Gothicism. In 1898 Paris, in an insidious and glittering world of vampires, werewolves, and fairies, thirty-year-old Maël agrees to be the familiar to Sebestyen, a peevish vampire lord, to save himself and give his sisters and his best friend, Alain, a better life. As their tumultuous bond progresses, peril looms when they both must contend with Sebestyen’s vampiric masters, the cruel and golden-haired Habsburg twins who call themselves the King and Queen.
