The Monster of Elendhaven

By Jennifer Giesbrecht
The Monster of Elendhaven by Jennifer Giesbrecht digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Debut author Jennifer Giesbrecht paints a darkly compelling fantasy of revenge in The Monster of Elendhaven, a dark fantasy about murder, a monster, and the magician who loves both.

Set against the backdrop of the plague-ridden city of Elendhaven, clinging to the edge of the ocean and stripped of all hope, you’ll find a tale of retribution, magic, and the monstrous.

The city isn't the only one fighting against demise; lurking in the shadows dwells a monster. With a soul as icy as it is cunning, it weaves itself around throats, immune from the grips of death. A puppet to its fragile master who sends it on perilous errands, it becomes a weapon in a scheme too monstrous to name. As the bond between the master and the monster tightens, a catastrophic revenge plan is formed.

These monsters of Elendhaven will have their revenge on everyone who wronged the city, even if they have to burn the world to do it.

“A tight, perfectly crafted story about retribution and what monsters deserve; stylish, quirky, and weirdly sexy? I’m into it.” —R. F. Kuang, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Babel

Smiling Face with Heart-Eyes“I honestly picked this book up thinking it would be a horror or mystery book but instead was a semi-spicy romance book. I loved it and will be on the lookout for more of her work. Before Johann and Florian even started dating(?) I was in love with their flirtatious banter and hoped that they would get together, I’m glad that they kind of did. I really want to know how they found each other after Florian died. Overall, it was a really good book and a fast read.”

“Elendhaven is an incredibly dark book about monsters, myths, and power. I thought this was a wonderful nod to twisted fairytales or gruesome legends. It’s well-written and full of vivid imagery, but not for the faint of heart.”
