Revenge strikes hardest at the heart of desire. Sadira’s escaped dark curses before. She’s left behind a world of snakes and heretics, endured violent judgment for her sinful love of agony, and discovered a powerful spiritual heritage within. As she returns to her Master’s home and family, a new evil awaits: deadly, rapidly spreading affliction, befalling everyone who helped her escape the tyrant Alaric Khan. Her Sanraethi rescuers succumb to a malady marked by overbearing pain. The symptoms grow worse with each successive victim, and rumors spread that Sadira, perverse devotee of pain and pleasure, is to blame. Barely familiar with her new magical talent—guided by her Master and protector, Bannon Sha’kurukh—Sadira races to discover a cure for the killing curse, before more warriors die. Sadira’s powers are far from infinite, and each time she draws upon the magic, she offers part of herself in return. When those closest to her become victims, Sadira can only hope she has the strength—and spirit—to save them.

When she isn't visiting the worlds of immortals, demons, dragons and goblins, Brantwijn fills her time with artistic endeavors: sketching, painting, customizing My Little Ponies and sewing plushies for friends. She can't handle coffee unless there's enough cream and sugar to make it a milkshake, but try and sweeten her tea and she will never forgive you. She moonlights as a futon for four lazy cats, loves tabletop role-play games, and can spend hours watching Futurama, Claymore or Buffy the Vampire Slayer while she writes or draws. In addition to her novels, Brantwijn has had several stories published in anthologies by Breathless Press, including the 2013 Crimson Anthology and 2014 Ravaged Anthology. She's also had a short story published in the Cleiss Press Big Book of Orgasm and the anthology Coming Together Through The Storm. She hopes to have several more tales to tell as time goes on. She has author pages on GoodReads and Amazon, and loves to see reader comments on her work. Her short stories occasionally pop up at Foreplay and Fangs, her blog at http://brantwijn.blogspot.com.
