About The Violet War

The Violet War is a series of books, based on an urban fantasy setting designed by author Monica Valentinelli. Vampires, werewolves, fairies, genies, mystical creatures all exist in the world of The Violet War. Whether or not you have the ability to see them is based on your genetic makeup. In this setting, your biological makeup is as important as your deeds and actions.

The Violet War’s book series titles are based on a list of Alchemy elements used in actual rituals and formulas for over 2,500 years. Each of the books concentrates on a particular element that is crucial in some way to the plot of the story.

The genre of The Violet War is considered “slipstream,” because it has elements of science fiction, fantasy and horror within the books.

The first book, Argentum, is offered here on the site as a free online urban fantasy story.
