Darkstocking

Erotic Grimdark Fantasy Novel

About

In the shadowy depths of 1622 England, where whispers of witchcraft mingle with forbidden desires, Candace Blanchard finds herself poised at the edge of a transformative awakening. Born with an extraordinary beauty cursed by magic, her coming of age spirals into a world steeped in depravity and sadism, a realm where innocence is swiftly lost.

As dark prophecies unfurl, entwined with the Revelation of biblical eschatology, Candace navigates a society fraught with hidden truths and corruption, discovering the intoxicating allure of power and the consequences of insatiable desire. With each encounter, she grapples with the complexities of her Satanic curse of hypersexuality and her supernatural beauty, exploring the tantalizing boundaries of taboo and the thirst for vengeance that stirs within her.

“Darkstocking” invites readers into a spellbinding tale of transformation and the indulgence of lust and power, where beauty becomes both a blessing and a curse, and the line between right and wrong blurs in a world of demons and the occult.
