The Dark Temptation

I the undersigned hereby agree to the terms of this contract as follows:

I will retain no memory of this contract during its execution.

I will train in the use of Essence and physical combat.

I will be erased from existence if I lose.

When Lyssa wakes in the Facility, she finds herself with nine others and no memory of how they got here or why. Their hosts assure them they signed an agreement—win and complete your bargain, or die trying.

Who can she trust when no one knows what they’re even fighting for? Not the demon who put her here. Right? The rules are a secret. The objective is unclear. The temptation is intense. And above all else a lingering question: Who are we without our memories?

With morally gray characters and heart-wrenching twists, The Dark Temptation will keep you on your toes—and maybe curl them along the way.

The Dark Temptation by S.R. Dawn in gold serif lettering. Vector style lines depict long red hair which fans out to outline black horns coming from the bottom of the image. Six gold circles overlay the hair and horns, each with a different design. At the top and going clockwise is flames, lightbeams, thorns, swirling dashed lines, broken pieces of circle, and vertical rain lines.

 

The Dark Temptation is a Dark Fantasy novel with adult themes. Some subject matter may be disturbing or upsetting. While some may see content warnings as potential spoilers, I consider them vital for the mental health of those who wish to see them. As a compromise, content warnings have been split into two categories, and are hidden behind expandable lists. General content warnings are intended to be spoiler-free, and are clear without going into detail. Specific content warnings may be considered spoilers to some readers, and go further into specific. Expand either or both lists for your comfort level and safety.
