Breath

This dark fantasy romance from new award winning epic fantasy and dark fantasy writer Jean Lowe Carlson explores sacrifice and love via sex and magic, in the style of Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel Series and Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series. With a deep storytelling style similar to Patrick Rothfuss' Kingkiller Chronicles and a flavor of fairytale magic, the Three Days of Oblenite dark fantasy trilogy is typical of Ms. Carlson's style, of writing complex and emotional fantasy and sci fi for adults. Cloistered because of a curse to kill by her kiss, Gryffine has shut down her passion and her life. But the kindness of dashing bartender Jessup steals her from her isolation and returns her pleasure. Yet when Gryffine's soulmate arrives on her doorstep with her same curse, can she refuse his electrifying pull, to be with this dark lover to her own demise? And can the kindness of the true love she's found win all, even past death's door and into the darkness?
