A Vermilion Curse

Former scholar turned mercenary Ryesand Valafar rummages through a ransacked city for banned religious texts, seeking information about ancient and dangerous magic. While investigating an abandoned temple, he encounters a threatening woman with a price on her head high enough to fund his research.

Wanted by both the crown for her involvement in the dead king's occult studies and a menacing cult, Cressida Benoit searches for a way to get rid of a brand that scars her in the besieged capital in order to make her grand escape. An encounter with a demon leaves her in bonds.

When this unlikely pair of opposing personalities discover that they have similar objectives relating to the outlawed religion, they agree to work together to find the place where all dark magic stems from. This proves to be a difficult task when their journey is tracked by a war commander set on bringing them to justice, a family they must escort back to a circus, and the growing tension rising between Ryesand and Cressida, serving as a distraction from their individual goals. In the midst of shifting rulers, villages, disarray, and a scattered court of decadence - falling in love was never in the cards.

A Vermillon Curse was such an adventure filled read! The world, the CHARACTERS! I was intrigued from start to finish 😍 Seeing Rye and Cress going from distaste to desperate longing to that scene warms my heart so much 💕💕 I love them so much and seeing them be happy together warms my heart

IT'S OUT
Go pick it up for disaster bisexuals

Ive received an arc from the author and this is my honest review.

4,5 rounding up to 5 !

A vermilion curse is a whirlwind, you have no time to breath and it was genuinely a super entertaining book. The characters were so fun to follow and their banter war excellent.
Cressida reminded me of Eugenides from Queen’s thief. And I loved it. She’s full of energy, sarcasm and overall super resourceful. Ryesand on the other hand is more reserved and he’s baby. Is he a super tall demon ? Yes. Is he still baby? Also yes. Don’t ask question. I love him.

If you’re a fan of adventure movie, fantasy and you just love to have fun while reading : this book is perfect for you !

A demon seeking redemption from a scholarly brotherhood and spymaster on the run from an accusation of regicide cross paths in A Vermilion Curse. Both Ryseand and Cressida have their own ulterior motives for teaming up as a battle couple. With a queernorm world steeped in the aesthetics and the lived-in worldbuilding reminiscent of the Dragonlance novels, A Vermilion Curse enchants with its slow-burn romance and breakneck plot. An utter delight for fans of Berserk, fantasy, and romance in equal measure.

This novel has everything anyone can want from a fantasy adventure. Polar opposites—a planner and a pantser—meet on the run from different tragedies. Ryesand, a demon, seeks redemption from the Brotherhood who cast him out, while Cressida is a spymaster on the run from crimes she didn’t commit. Chthassyl cultists chase both of them for different ends. It’s dangerous, but there is some excellent competency porn where our main characters are involved. Between Ryesand being the level-headed scholar and Cressida the rogue with a heart of gold looking for healing, the opposites attract deliciously, and so much of the fun lies in watching them trust each other and grow closer.

The success of a romance novel falls on the chemistry and development of its main characters, and Guevara excels here. Despite being a bit of a bisexual disaster, Cressida is quick on her feet and can get herself out of situations as soon as she gets in them. Ryesand, on the other hand, is far more reserved and keeps his truth closer to his chest. Their banter really works for me because of the strength of their personal convictions. This book is intended for adult audiences, and the multiple sex scenes are explicit. This book fucks with enchanting magic and heart-pounding sword fights that show off the best from both our main characters.

As someone who is really picky about cult books, I enjoyed Guevara’s approach to that antagonist and trauma. It’s careful, and there is a clear reason what the cultists seek and the sorts of people they seek to destroy. This is a fantasy book about everyday people in increasingly extraordinary situations. There is magic and divinity, but it’s not the sort that cloaks our main characters in plot armor. In fact, it might be their greatest enemy from start to finish.

Last, but not least, the Berserk references are so tasty and so fresh. Guevara turned the relationship between Guts and Casca and the world-building of a sword-and-sorcery fantasy into something new. Though the world is queernorm, there’s still heartbreak, fantasy racism, especially where Ryesand is involved, and classism, especially where Cressida is concerned. But there’s still beauty, art, and lore, which makes Anthares so richly lived in.

I had a blast reading this fast-paced adventure, and I can’t wait for others to join the ride as well.

Reviews for "From Myth to Reality: How Mystic Magic Video Assistants are Revolutionizing Technology"

1. John Doe - 2 stars - I purchased the Mystic magic video assistant hoping to add some excitement and wonder to my magic performances. However, I was extremely disappointed with the product. The videos were poorly recorded and the instructions were unclear, making it difficult to understand and perform the tricks. Additionally, the app kept crashing every time I tried to access certain features. Overall, I found the Mystic magic video assistant to be a waste of money and would not recommend it to fellow magicians.

2. Jane Smith - 1 star - I had high hopes for the Mystic magic video assistant, but it completely fell short of my expectations. The videos were outdated and lacked creativity, making the tricks seem dull and unimpressive. The app itself was also glitchy and often froze, causing frustration and wasting valuable time. The customer service was not helpful either, as they were unresponsive to my inquiries and concerns. Save your money and look for a better magic assistant elsewhere.

3. Mark Wilson - 2 stars - As an experienced magician, I was excited to try out the Mystic magic video assistant. Unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations. The videos included in the app were limited in variety and lacked innovation. The app interface was also difficult to navigate and not user-friendly. I found myself spending more time trying to figure out the app than actually performing magic tricks. Overall, I was disappointed with the Mystic magic video assistant and would not recommend it to serious magicians.
