In the dark days of the Inquisition, a cursed Spanish prince must wrestle with the ravenous demon that lives inside him At the height of Europe’s bloody 16th century, as Spain suffers under the iron cruelty of the Inquisition, a different sort of horror plagues the royal house of King Alonzo. A witch’s curse directed at the heartless liege has borne bitter fruit, damning the innocent offspring of el rey. The brooding and sensitive son and heir to the throne, Don Rolon, wanders the great halls of the ancestral home carrying the weight of his unloving father’s crimes in his bones and blood. Torn between his deeply felt religious beliefs and a gnawing hunger, he must somehow deal with a looming threat far more powerful than his murderously jealous brother and the manipulations of a corrupt and self-serving officer of a malevolent church. For when the full moon rises, Don Rolon will be forced to surrender to his unholy needs as the beast within him is unleashed once more. A chilling, atmospheric, and enthralling novel of destiny and darkness, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro’s The Godforsaken ingeniously evokes the myriad horrors of a terrible epoch. This classic werewolf tale is brilliantly reimagined by an acclaimed Grand Master of dark fantasy, a true giant in the field of historical horror fiction.

About the Author Chelsea Quinn Yarbro is the first woman to be named a Living Legend by the International Horror Guild and is one of only two women ever to be named as Grand Master of the World Horror Convention (2003). In 1995, Yarbro was the only novelist guest of the Romanian government for the First World Dracula Congress, sponsored by the Transylvanian Society of Dracula, the Romanian Bureau of Tourism and the Romanian Ministry of Culture. Yarbro is best known as the creator of the heroic vampire, the Count Saint-Germain. With her creation of Saint-Germain, she delved into history and vampiric literature and subverted the standard myth to invent the first vampire who was more honorable, humane, and heroic than most of the humans around him. She fully meshed the vampire with romance and accurately detailed historical fiction and filtered it through a feminist perspective that both the giving of sustenance and its taking were of equal erotic potency. A professional writer since 1968, Yarbro has worked in a wide variety of genres, from science fiction to westerns, from young adult adventure to historical horror.

The Curse and the Inquisition By A Customer Ms Yarbro again displays her deft touch in creating a tapestry woven of rich characterizations and exquisite historical detail with just a touch of the supernatural.The story centers around a young Spanish nobleman at the height of the inquisiton. Bound by the strictures of his station and tortured by a dying woman's curse, he must try to find a way to happiness.
9 of 10 people found the following review helpful. gripping By Christina Menard Apart from Ms. Yarbro's St. Germain series, I think this is one of her best works. Again we see a 'monster' transformed into something other than a blood thirsty demon. Instead of the monster, we read of a man tormented by a curse and can actually identify with him and feel for his torment. The book also depicts the awful onset of the Spanish Inquisition that is very believable.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Never Saw A Werewolf! By appletree83 I wish there had been more attention given to the 'werewolf' angle in this book. Not once does the werewolf actually make an appearance, but seems to be just a small sub-plot, if that. The writing was very good, and described the atrocities committed during the Catholic Inquisition in gory and extremely sad detail. If you like historical fiction from the late 14th-century, you'll enjoy this. Just don't expect it to be a supernatural horror novel about a werewolf...it's not. The horror in this novel comes from details of the Spanish Inquisition.
