❤️🩸 The Countdown Begins: Ruin Has Sharp Fangs Arrives February 14

Love has teeth—and it’s coming February 14, 2025.

Today marks the official countdown to the release of Ruin Has Sharp Fangs, a Valentine’s-themed dark fantasy novella set in the Veil of Shadows universe.

If you crave dangerous love, sharp devotion, and romance that cuts just a little too deep… this one was written for you.


A Valentine’s Story—Veil of Shadows Style

Ruin Has Sharp Fangs is not a soft love story.

It’s a dark, atmospheric novella that explores:

  • Love edged with violence
  • Desire tangled in power
  • The kind of devotion that doesn’t ask—it claims

Set chronologically before the First Generation Veil of Shadows books, this novella can be read as a standalone, making it the perfect entry point for new readers—or a haunting addition for longtime fans.

A book titled 'Ruin Has Sharp Fangs' by M. R. Pritchard is displayed alongside a quote from Bram Stoker's Dracula. The image features a black rose and decorative elements, with a hint of red suggesting blood.

Release Date: February 14, 2025 🖤

Yes—Valentine’s Day.

Because some love stories are meant to be sweet…
and some are meant to leave scars.

This novella leans fully into the darker side of romance, making it the perfect anti-Valentine’s (or very on-brand Valentine’s) read.
