Cursed

by Vincent Edward Gadrix

In an age of arcane magic and occult knowledge, Tristan Caderian, the last of a cursed line, and Juliana, an assassin with a bewitched affliction, are brought together when she is sent to end his life. But fate intervenes, staying her hand. As they unravel the secrets of the Caderian Curse and their own dark pasts while mastering the enigmatic Rose Magic—the key to breaking the curse—they discover a love that could be their salvation or their undoing. Navigating a treacherous realm of dark spirits, mystical rituals, and hidden powers, Tristan and Juliana face a second threat—a sinister presence within the Assassins’ Guild to which Juliana has been bound since childhood, seeking their destruction. Tristan and Juliana must find a way to infuse Rose Magic with the power of their love, risking everything for a chance to break free from the curse and the forces that seek to destroy them.

[Stacey · Rating 3 out of 5]

If you’re looking for a fast paced fantasy type book well novella that doesn’t involve huge world building etc etc and basically is plot based to the point. This is what this book is. I did find the magic system interesting because I’ve not came across that type before, the guild assassins again interesting plot, the idea of being cursed all that was good… but I am a reader that thrives on massive world building I like to delve in so deep that I’m emotionally invested,.. I could not do this here…. But that is a me thing on what I prefer.. but for a fast paced fantasy novella it’s decent..
