Sacrament

Sacrament

An M/M/M vampire dark romance

“Immortality is one hell of a drug in the hauntingly cruel, tantalizingly erotic, and breathlessly hopeful SACRAMENT. Morgan Dante is a master at peeling back every layer to the (in)human condition in ways that are guaranteed to put a lump in your throat and keep you turning pages well into the night. I can’t recommend this book enough—Astarion walked so this story could run.”
— T.D. Cloud, author of INFAUST and OSSUARY

“SACRAMENT is a decadent nightmare glimmering with hope. As always, Morgan Dante has crafted a piece of fiction that is an utter delight to sink your teeth into.”
— Ezra Arndt, author of AWAKENED DARKNESS

“Bloody and opulent, SACRAMENT is a heart-rending experience best savored. Morgan Dante's masterful prose encapsulates the longing and malaise of Paris at the turn of the century, but it is their elegant details of depravity, both violent and erotic, that shape SACRAMENT's haunting, unforgettable atmosphere. Characters both beloved and loathed seek redemption, revenge, or something between the two—all of which SACRAMENT thoroughly examines through class struggle, an ancient vampiric hierarchy, and generational trauma spanning centuries.”
— Magnus Thorne, author of THE LION'S HUNT

“Not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach, SACRAMENT explores cycles of violence and the liminal space between humanity and monstrosity. Dante crafts an erotic and unflinching feast of decadent prose and haunting imagery, perfect for readers of bleak fantasy and dark romance.”
— Ladz, author of THE FEALTY OF MONSTERS and THE CRADLE OF ETERNAL NIGHT

People are twisted in gnarled trees, and harpies, large birds with women's faces, perch on them. Virgil and Dante walk through a clearing, and they are illuminated by a red outline.
