“Death clung to Julian. It had only worsened in recent years—grief ate away at his intestines, corrosive and nauseating; long talons of guilt plunged between his ribs, ever slicing. He wore dread like a thick cologne.”

Silver doesn’t kill inhumans in my worldbuilding. After the Crusade it’s a widely believed myth! I wanted the truth obscured, the resource rarer, the swords strong enough to be a useful. And I wanted more magic in my paranormal fantasy universe. Now, I have cruoscuro. #DarkFantasy

Take a peek 👀 at the first four chapters of my dark romantic fantasy ⚔️Hunters & Heretics🔥. Follow Adara Eira, a human who somehow has magic, and Odessa, a monster hunter who always seems one misstep away from death. Read it for free!!! mkmoretti.substack.com
A screenshot from Hunters & Heretics by M.K. Moretti - Chapter 1: Deal with the Devil
“There was something about the shimmering chartreuse in the distance that gave the distinct impression of a wart. Perhaps it was the way in which the magic protruded from the ground like a dome, as though an ancient elemental being was experiencing a change in hormones.”A screenshot from Hunters & Heretics by M.K. Moretti - Chapter 2: Death Sentences
“Odessa mourned the fact that she wouldn’t even get a last hot meal before her execution. They had arrived at the garrison in late afternoon. The sky had begun to fade to darkness, allowing the torches to give off a warm glow. It was the largest compound she’d seen, and still bustling with activity.”A screenshot from Hunters & Heretics by M.K. Moretti - Chapter 3: How to Work a Faucet
“ “Mystery solved,” Adara mused as she stared down at the abandoned goods by the door, “the scaled man goes grocery shopping.” Here was a small but immediate opportunity to prove useful. She snatched up what she could, piling a head of cabbage on top of her bundle before she straightened.”A screenshot from Hunters & Heretics by M.K. Moretti - Chapter 4: Right to Jail 
“Odessa had been pleasantly surprised that Nexilus were assigned personal quarters. She slept free from any snorers, farters, and other nightmare bunkmates she had grown used to among Legionnaires. Her own room to wallow in for the night. It hadn't helped her sleep quality much.“

On a red and black background is a book cover and at the bottom it says coming march 22. 
The book cover is for Awaken, My Love, written by Marat Earendel, an mm gothic romance novel, is at the center. 
The illustrated cover shows a brown vampire with red eyes and shoulder-length wavy black hair wearing antique black and white clothing while looking toward the viewer. He is holding a man in his hands. The man is pale with long beige hair, wearing white and cream colored clothing. He is in profile, looking up and gripping the vampire's shirt. There are split open pomegranates threaded through the burgundy title of the novel.
In the background is a broken gothic window, and at the bottom are chains. The cover is in shades of reds, browns, mauves, and blacks.

The title card of a short paranormal horror story “The Night of Crimson Waters” on the Into Ekhypso Substack by MK Moretti. The background image is a blurred photo of a drop rippling through water lit by red light. “The streets ran red with blood. It slithered between cobblestones, unable to congeal for the rain that diluted it. It puddled in the potholes, where hasty steps sent it splattering on the sides of buildings, only to be washed away again.” -The Night of Crimson Waters by M.K. MorettiThe title card of a dark fantasy and cosmic horror short story “When Facing Angels” on the Into Ekhypso Substack by MK Moretti. Image shows a single candle burning warmly in the darkness. “Was it possible to be haunted by something you never knew? He felt it at the edges of his awareness. It taunted him like a word on the tip of his tongue, slipping through his teeth before it could be spoken. It mocked him in each breath before a hymn began, offering the promise of a different tune. One he didn’t know, had never heard, and couldn’t conjure. One that haunted him.” -When Facing Angels by M.K. Moretti
