I'm actually working on some special editions of V&V now! The idea is in a verrrrry early stage because I have to price everything out and get the funds together (and it's tax time so that's it's own detriment right now lol) but once I have that all worked out, I'm hoping to have hardbacks available! My hope is that they will have some additional illustrations and formatting inside as well :)

Thank you for asking and I'm so glad you enjoyed the series! 💜(less)

So, I know you didn't ask this specifically, but I think he would be the most human-looking tiefling in Neverwinter and his class would *have* to be Blood Hunter. He'd take dueling as his fighting style and we're gonna cheese it a little and give him Rite of the Dead as his Crimson Rite right off the bat so he can deal necrotic damage (which is shadow damage, in my head). I'm going to make up an order for him: The Order of the Infernal Brotherhood, but I'm giving him Pact Magic (with Zagadoth), and an imp familiar (Kaz, of course!)


As for his level, I think he's somewhere around 10ish? I like to think truly high level characters are very few and far between. Damien's still young, and he has a lot of room to grow, and I think he's got enough renown to be up there, but he might think about multiclassing at some point (maybe into Cleric???), so I'd like to leave him open to those possibilities. But I could be very wrong about levels and their power--I'm super into the backstory building of characters in D&D and giving them weaknesses and bad scores on purpose and I never optimize, so I'm sort of a terrible player when it comes right down to it :)(less)

How Not to Court Your Human Captive – She’s Here!

Check out the prologue for Court at the end of this post!

When a human’s fury meets a demon’s fire, hatred isn’t the only thing to ignite.

The first in the Falling for Demons series is here, and so far its reception has been more than I could possibly ask for! ARC readers have loved it, and of course I love it too, and I can’t wait for you to be immersed in the monstrously cozy world

“Damien had to bite the inside of his cheek to keep from laughing. “Surely, I don’t look like that.” “It’s close,” she warned, features relaxing. “You have resting villain face.” “I am a villain.” And then Amma, the girl he had abducted, dragged across the realm, and threatened to murder, actually rolled her eyes at him.”
A.K. Caggiano, Throne in the Dark

“Did you hear that?” Amma’s sharp whisper cut into Damien’s mind as it began to drift into sleep. He groaned. “You mean that terrifying cry that sounded like a woman being gutted?” “Yes!” “No, I didn’t. Go to sleep.”
A.K. Caggiano, Throne in the Dark

“My life’s work,” said Damien, lips curling at the corners and thin, black brows narrowing. “It is finally complete.” He was twenty-seven.”
