"Compelling, riotous, and utterly fresh!" -Sunyi Dean, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Book Eaters
Monster Hunter and Empire of the Vampire collide in the adventurous sequel to Seven Recipes for Revolution, guaranteed to make you crave delicious fantasy dishes.
Three years after eating the rich, Paprick Bessa is an infamous warchef known as the Butcher. Numbed by grief and war with the ousted rulers, Paprick no longer enjoys cooking and can't create new recipes. So when Ranch finally reaches a tenuous ceasefire with the Rare, Paprick seizes the chance to reheat his passions, opening a restaurant with a menu all his own.
But conspiracy interrupts the opening night, his own emphon destroy the restaurant, and all signs point to the neighbouring Empire of the Badgeboar. Whoever orchestrated this threatens to destroy everything Paprick and Ranch's common fought for, and the Butcher leaves no threat breathing. To find the attacker and stop another all-out war, Paprick, his partner Cori, and his kitchen brigade journey west to curry favour with the Empire's questionable elite and investigate its mysterious religions.
Treacherous forces and dire prophecies lie in wait for Paprick's arrival, and all the while, the Rare re-arm in the east. Facing magics and flavours unlike any he's ever tasted, Paprick will have to choose what matters most: his people, his passions, or his partner. He can't save all three.
