Publisher's summary
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 Note
This story is part of my serial, The Bestiary, on Kindle Vella. 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, but since this is a series, a new complication is introduced at the end of the book, so expect a little twist/cliffy. If you don't want to wait for book two and would prefer to read along I write it, you can find it on Kindle Vella and on my Patreon page. (Season 2/Book 2 starts on episode 43.)
Content Warnings
*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

Story
Romance can be a little complicated when you get sucked into a wormhole. Just ask high school English teacher June Flint. One little solar flare happens and suddenly you find yourself 85 years in the future. Eighty-five years from your dream job. Your ailing mother whose only companion in this world is you. Your favorite stuffed-crust pizza from DeLucia’s on Sunday nights. But when June’s cell phone inexplicably picks up a signal, she’s able to call back to the present—more specifically, four weeks before she accidentally time traveled.

Our lands are fractured. They have been split into three since before my birth, but they were not always this way.

Then my sister is called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice. Unable to lose the one person I love, I take her place willingly, protecting her the only way I can.
