A Cursed Legacy - The Bestiary, #1

My family is dead and gone. But they left their grimoire behind. Now it's my job to free the powerful magical beings trapped in the pages. I might just find a whole new family.if they don't kill me first.  I was just a kid when my family was executed for starting a magical war, forcing me to live my life in the human world, far away from the judgment and scorn of the magical world-and far away from the weirdos who want me to tell them all my dangerous Lovell family secrets.
But when a cursed grimoire containing enslaved magical beings falls into my lap, I can't continue to avoid my family's craptastic legacy of pain and suffering. Now, thanks to the nagging of an annoyingly moral ghost, I'm off to free the powerful (and pissed-off) creatures in the bestiary. I'm nothing like my horrible family. But my newfound attraction to dangerous magical beings who could murder me without a thought.
yeah, that might indicate otherwise. Author's NoteThis story was originally published as part of a serial story. It is part of an ongoing series, and I will continue to release new books as the story progresses. A Cursed Legacy is 141, 000 words long. The major plot arc is resolved, however since this is a series, a new complication is introduced at the end of the book, so expect a little twist/cliffy.
If you are interested in reading book 2 as I write it, you can find it on Vella. Season 2/Book 2 starts on episode 43. You can also read along on my Patreon page. CW*poly romance, contains MF, MM, FF, NB/intersex romantic interactions, as well as multiples*swearing and explicit sexual content*some characters have suffered trauma in their past, most of which is off page/mentioned in passing*there is one scene where a character with PTSD loses control during a BDSM session.
The MC is not actually harmed, but this may be triggering to some readers*stupid humor and a sarcastic main character who is just done with the world's bullshit, but also has a moral compass no matter how much she wants to wish otherwise
