A devastating love story. A bewitching twist on history. A blood-drenched hunt for purpose, power, and redemption. In 1785, Professor Sebastian Grave receives the news he fears most: the terrible Beast of Gevaudan has returned, and the French countryside runs red in its wake. Sebastian knows the Beast. A monster-slayer with centuries of experience, he joined the hunt for the creature twenty years ago and watched it slaughter its way through a long and bloody winter. Even with the help of his indwelling demon, Sarmodel - who takes payment in living hearts - it nearly cost him his life to bring the monster down.Now, two decades later, Sebastian has been recalled to the hunt by Antoine Avenel d'Ocerne, an estranged lover who shares a dark history with the Beast and a terrible secret with Sebastian. Drawn by both the chance to finish the Beast for good and the promise of a reconciliation with Antoine, Sebastian cannot refuse. But Gevaudan is not as he remembers it, and Sebastian's unfinished business is everywhere he looks. Years of misery have driven the people to desperation, and France teeters on the edge of revolution. Sebastian's arcane activities - not to mention his demonic counterpart - have also attracted the inquisitorial eye of the French clergy. And the Beast is poised to close his jaws around them all and plunge the continent into war. Debut author Cameron Sullivan tears the heart out of history with this darkly entertaining retelling of the hunt for the Beast of Gevaudan. Lifting the veil on the hidden world behind our own, it reimagines the story of Europe, from Imperial Rome to Saint Jehanne d'Arc, the madness of Gilles de Rais and the first flickers of the French Revolution."e;An absolute feast of a book: rich, red, sinfully delicious.

Dark Fantasy mit Dämonen und Werwölfen – »The Witcher« meets »Das unsichtbare Leben der Addie LaRue«Der Monsterjäger Sebastian Grave ist ein Mann vieler Talente und Geheimnisse, und war in mehr als einem Jahrhundert zuhause. Nun reist er in die abgelegene französische Provinz Gévaudan. Der Baron hat Freiwillige zur Jagd auf die Bestie aufgerufen, die für das Abschlachten von Vieh und Menschen verantwortlich sein soll. Zusammen mit dem Dämon Sarmodel und dem gutaussehenden jungen Adligen Antoine d''Ocerne, macht sich Sebastian auf die Jagd. Bald zeigt sich: Die Bestie von Gévaudan ist schwerer zu fangen als gedacht - und es bei weitem nicht das einzige Monster, das in Frankreich sein Unwesen treibt ...»The Red Winter« zeigt die verborgene Welt hinter unserer eigenen und erzählt die okkulte Geschichte Europas, vom kaiserlichen Rom bis zur heiligen Jeanne d''Arc und den ersten Anzeichen der Französischen Revolution.»Charmant, eindringlich, ambitioniert und sehr unterhaltsam.« T. Kingfisher»›The Red Winter‹ ist ein wunderschönes Gewebe aus Geschichte und Mythen. […] Dieses Buch werden Sie verschlingen.« Cassandra Khaw»So verdammt gut. The Red Winter ist irrsinnig unterhaltsam.« Shelley Parker-Chan"The Red Winter ist ein höllisch gutes Debüt. Ein absoluter Genuss: blutig und sündhaft köstlich. Selten war ich so zufrieden – oder so hungrig nach mehr." Alix E. Harrow
