A disgraced monster hunter.
A cursed sword waking in his hand.
A noble house hiding something worse than wolves.
Dorian Shade was once a hunter of the King’s Hunt, trained to track, rank, and kill the creatures that stalk the dark places of the kingdom. Then Redmere destroyed his name. Now he works alone, taking the jobs official hunters arrive too late to finish.
When a grave-fed beast leads him toward the lands of House Vaust, Dorian finds signs of a deeper corruption: moon-sick hounds, missing bodies, forbidden blood, and wounds marked with ash instead of fire.
The nobles call it rumor.
The dead say otherwise.
At Dorian’s side hangs Darkfang, an old blade made for killing monsters. But the more corrupted flesh it cuts, the more the sword begins to wake. Its black core darkens. Ash-colored veins spread through the steel. And Dorian’s own forbidden gift, the Ashen Vein, begins to sharpen with every hunt.
House Vaust is not merely hiding a monster.
It is feeding one.
To survive, Dorian must face a rising Moon-Cursed Lord, a pack bred for slaughter, and the truth behind the massacre that ruined him. But every step toward power carries a cost—and every kill draws Darkfang closer to what it was made to become.
Darkfang is a dark progression monster-hunter fantasy for readers who like cursed swords, brutal hunts, werewolf lords, noble conspiracies, dangerous power, and grim heroes who survive by skill, steel, and restraint.
