The Sacrifice: A Dark Dragon Fantasy Romance

Emily Shore

SHORT SUMMARY

"Don't you know better than to play with monsters?"
Perhaps I'd rather play with the monsters than kill them.
After all, I'm not looking for a happily ever after - I'm looking for a dark and dangerous once upon a time...

AUTHOR NOTE(S):

For all the ladies who’d choose the dragon with two dicks over the man and the bear…

If you’re like me, maybe you use trigger warnings as a shopping list. This is a dark book with dark elements and themes. Things get intense and spicy.

The traumance is real. The mental health rep is real. I spent ten years training in advocacy and weave mental health rep into all my books.
This began as a simple smutty work that turned into something more. Suddenly, readers shared how Quintessa and her scars validated their scars. While you may think this is just a story about a horny girl who likes to fuck a dragon, vampire, angel, and fae – can we get a shoutout for goals? – the light shines through in the end.

For those confused about anything in the world, I hope you like the MAP, and understand this is a SERIES. More about the world will emerge through the books.
Please be kind to yourself. There is a lot of dubcon/CNC/a bit of noncon (not the mains/not romanticized). I am in the LGBQTIA+ community, and I weave this rep into my books in NON-fetishized stereotypes. This book is mostly MF with a splash of MM and MMF.
I show this under an Author’s Note and NOT a content warning. I look forward to the day when queer is so normalized, it doesn’t require a warning.

I’m not responsible for any extreme emotions that should arise. I suggest you keep a partner or toy nearby.

Connect with me on social media. I love readers, and I have some great NSFW art for this book!
