Looking for a dark fantasy book boyfriend? The Tome of Talula by Lux M. Vale has demons, fallen angels, vampyrs, morally complicated men, protective men, winged men, and men who desperately need therapy.
The winds are changing.
Spooky season is approaching.
And unfortunately, so is cuffing season.
If you need a book boyfriend, Amblem has options.
Are they single?
Mostly no.
Emotionally stable?
Absolutely not.
Human?
Don’t be unreasonable.
But they’re devoted, protective, occasionally winged, and at least one of them will make your enemies disappear.
Choose your Amblem book boyfriend carefully.
Meet the Men of The Tome of Talula
The Tome of Talula is a Christian dark fantasy novel by Lux M. Vale featuring found family, supernatural creatures, adventure, redemption, and several romantic relationships.
The romance is closed-door, but that doesn’t mean Amblem is suffering from a shortage of yearning.
Quite the opposite.
So in honor of cuffing season, let’s examine your options.
Please understand that Lux M. Vale accepts no responsibility for your decisions.
Boon — The Demon Book Boyfriend
Species: Demon
Occupation: Council Speaker
Emotional stability: We’re moving on.
If your preferred fantasy book boyfriend is powerful, devoted, protective, morally complicated, and capable of making a problem mysteriously stop being a problem, Boon might be your choice.
He’s a demon.
He’s also the Speaker of the Council, making him one of the most politically powerful figures in the Commonwealth.
Romantic?
Yes.
Dangerous?
Also yes.
Those things are not mutually exclusive in Amblem.
Choose Boon if: your response to a red flag is occasionally, “Okay, but hear me out.”
Malik — The Fallen Angel Book Boyfriend
Species: Fallen angel
Occupation: Currently having a terrible time
Wings: Yes.
If you came to The Tome of Talula looking for an angelic fantasy man, I regret to inform you that the angel is having problems.
Malik is a fallen angel and one of the central characters of The Tome of Talula.
He’s protective, devoted, powerful, and deeply connected to the novel’s themes of faith and grief.
He’s also experienced enough emotional devastation for several lifetimes.
Choose Malik if: you saw “fallen angel with emotional baggage” and had already made your decision before finishing this sentence.
Seth — The Gluttony Demon Book Boyfriend
Species: Gluttony demon
Personality: Seth
Warning: Seth.
Seth Pruitt is a gluttony demon whose story explores restoration, faith, loyalty, and found family.
He’s funny.
He’s chaotic.
He’s survived things he would very much like everyone to stop mentioning.
And somehow, despite everything, he remains Seth.
Explaining that any further would actually make it less clear.
Choose Seth if: you believe sarcasm is a love language and your ideal relationship includes being insulted affectionately.
The Vampyrs of Amblem
Perhaps demons and fallen angels aren’t your thing.
That’s okay.
Amblem also has vampyrs.
Characters such as Milford and Everest introduce readers to the Vampyr Mafia, another supernatural faction within the world of The Tome of Talula.
Because apparently “vampyr” wasn’t enough.
We needed organized crime, too.
If your fictional standards involve supernatural danger, questionable morality, and the possibility that your date has connections to organized crime, the Vampyr Mafia may have what you’re looking for.
Please make good choices.
Or don’t.
I’m an author, not your mother.
Is There Romance in The Tome of Talula?
Yes.
The Tome of Talula contains romance and romantic subplots alongside its larger dark fantasy adventure.
Readers can expect kissing, romantic tension, devotion, relationships, and a frankly unreasonable amount of yearning.
However, The Tome of Talula contains closed-door romance with no sexually explicit scenes or on-page spice.
The intimate scenes happen behind closed doors.
The violence does not.
You won’t get surprised spice.
You may get surprised blood.
Dark Fantasy Romance Meets Found Family
Romance is only one part of The Tome of Talula.
At the center of the novel is an unlikely found family navigating a supernatural world filled with demons, fallen angels, vampyrs, cursed direwolves, dragons, religious cults, corrupt governments, ancient relics, and a quest for a god-killing dagger.
The romantic relationships exist alongside stories about faith, grief, identity, forgiveness, restoration, and redemption.
So yes, you can absolutely choose an Amblem book boyfriend.
Just remember:
These men have plots happening to them.
Aggressively.
Choose Your Amblem Book Boyfriend
So, what’s your type?
A powerful demon?
A grieving fallen angel?
A chaotic gluttony demon?
A vampyr with questionable professional connections?
Amblem has options.
Good options?
That’s subjective.
But options.
