Summary:
The Tarishe Curse delivers eerie chills, dangerous secrets, and a haunting cast of old-world creatures to satisfy your All Hallows’ Eve cravings. Beneath the full moon, werewolves prowl and witches weave their dark designs in a world of gargoyles, vampires, and more. Experience a witch’s vengeful curse through the eyes of the Queen of Werefolk, where a familiar face may conceal a monster and trust can come at a terrible price. Who is truly what they seem? Can the wicked curse be undone—or will vengeance claim those caught in its grasp?
"Vengeance, retaliation, retribution, revenge are deceitful brothers—vile, beguiling demons promising justifiable compensation to a pained soul for his losses. Yet in truth they craftily fester away all else of worth remaining."
"Vengeance would have us assault an enemy's pride to beat him down. But vengeance hides a dangerous truth, for a humbled foe gains patience, courage, strength, and greater determination."
"I squinted at the western sky behind Thaddeus, a blood-red smear melting into blackness. Twisting my neck, I glanced the opposite direction. My teeth clenched at a magnified, round moon nearly as scarlet as the portending sunset, its luminous face half masked by hazy cloud cover. Hatred, vengeance, anger... such emotions coursed through my veins in a poisonous concoction that muddied my mind, impelling me to grip my sword tighter and fight with every ounce of strength I possessed against those who threatened my family - my kind. Currently, Thaddeus was behaving as such a threat, using his powers of persuasion to condone human sacrifice for some outrageously perceived good. He wanted an offering for the monsters; a desperate, futile offering of human flesh that would in no way protect the other villagers from being mauled as he promised."
"Naivety doesn’t excuse poor choices, deary. You and I both know life is unforgiving. I can’t rescue every drowning pup that is stupid enough to peer too deeply down a well."
"If it means battling the armies of Hades, I will fight to the death for you."
