Cursed Legacy

Son of the famous Thomas Mann, homosexual, drug-addicted, and forced to flee from his fatherland, the gifted writer Klaus Mann’s comparatively short life was as artistically productive as it was devastatingly dislocated. Best-known today as the author of Mephisto, the literary enfant terrible of the Weimar era produced seven novels, a dozen plays, four biographies, and three autobiographies—among them the first works in Germany to tackle gay issues—amidst a prodigious artistic output. He was among the first to take up his pen against the Nazis, as a reward for which he was blacklisted and denounced as a dangerous half-Jew, his books burnt in public squares around Germany, and his citizenship revoked. Having served with the U.S. military in Italy, he was nevertheless undone by anti-Communist fanatics in Cold War-era America and Germany, dying in France (though not, as all other books contend, by his own hand) at age forty-two. Powerful, revealing, and compulsively readable, this first English-language biography of Klaus Mann charts the effects of reactionary politics on art and literature and tells the moving story of a supreme talent destroyed by personal circumstance and the seismic events of the twentieth century.

On the heels of his widely acclaimed debut novel Cursed Plantation, D. E. Grant strikes again with the highly anticipated second installment of his Dark Succubus trilogy. In Cursed Legacy, the reader is taken for a journey filled with twists, turns, and more than a few skeletons. Follow along with New Orleans homicide detective Terry Hawkins as he is called to a prestigious hotel, the scene of a particularly grisly murder of a young adult male. The detective’s probe leads Terry to not only an affluent family but also several similarly brutal deaths. Armed with only a strange picture of an alluring woman and a word from an ancient language, Terry’s digging will take him from the present day to uncovering secrets best left hidden in the past.

Fate Always Finds a Way... No matter where I go, the tattered red threads of the Moirai follow me. If they have their way, it’s only a matter of time and I'll be joining the early grave of so many Blackwoods before me. What’s worse, the curse is expanding and threatening to take more lives. Expelled from his birthright for loving me, Wade is now a completely mortal, and vulnerable human. If he dies, there’s no coming back as an angel because not even a necromancer can save him when fate and death conspire. I need to put an end to this, but how do I do it when everything about who I am and whom I'm becoming is built on a lie? One that's torn my family apart at its seams for centuries. And now, this burden my family has carried—this curse—has become my birthright. *PLEASE BE ADVISED: This is a YA+ academy / witches series.

My family is dead and gone. But they left their grimoire behind. Now it's my job to free the powerful magical beings trapped in the pages. I might just find a whole new family…if they don't kill me first. I was just a kid when my family was executed for starting a magical war, forcing me to live my life in the human world, far away from the judgment and scorn of the magical world—and far away from the weirdos who want me to tell them all my dangerous Lovell family secrets. But when a cursed grimoire containing enslaved magical beings falls into my lap, I can't continue to avoid my family's craptastic legacy of pain and suffering. Now, thanks to the nagging of an annoyingly moral ghost, I'm off to free the powerful (and pissed-off) creatures in the bestiary. I'm nothing like my horrible family. But my newfound attraction to dangerous magical beings who could murder me without a thought… yeah, that might indicate otherwise. Author's Note This story is part of my serial, The Bestiary, on Kindle Vella. It is part of an ongoing series, and I will continue to release new books as the story progresses. A Cursed Legacy is 141,000 words long. The major plot arc is resolved, however since this is a series, a new complication is introduced at the end of the book, so expect a little twist/cliffy. If you are interested in reading book 2 as I write it, you can find it on Vella. Season 2/Book 2 starts on episode 43. You can also read along on my Patreon page. Content Warnings *poly romance, contains MF, MM, FF, NB/intersex romantic interactions, as well as multiples *swearing and explicit sexual content *some characters have suffered trauma in their past, most of which is off page/mentioned in passing *there is one scene where a character with PTSD loses control during a BDSM session. The MC is not actually harmed, but this may be triggering to some readers *stupid humor and a sarcastic main character who is just done with the world's bullshit, but also has a moral compass no matter how much she wants to wish otherwise
