Lupomancers: The Werewolf Sorcerers of Hunter Healer King

Not All Werewolves Are Created Equal

In the world of the Hunter Healer King trilogy, lupomancers are shapeshifting sorcerers who can magically mark living people, transforming them into werewolves who must obey their commands. And the lupomancers themselves? They’re algomancers: dark sorcerers who feed on pain and fear, who can take wolf form at will.

This is the threat Chloe Fortebat faces in Wolf’s Trail. This is why she needs Dr. Maxim os Storm, one of the few hunters who knows how to break a lupomancer’s mark before it’s too late.

Algomancers, The Psychic Vampires of Hunter Healer King

In the Hunter Healer King trilogy, “monster hunting” doesn’t just mean tracking werewolves and zombies. It means hunting the sorcerers who create them.

Algomancers are humans who bargained with evil forces to receive magical power. In exchange, they became psychic vampires who must feed on the pain and fear of others to survive. They command undead servants, transform people into monsters, and manipulate emotions like weapons. And when you see the words “monster hunting” in the context of this setting, “monster” means the algomancer as much as the creatures they control.

These are not sympathetic people. They target innocent children and animals, anyone beautiful or vulnerable, because innocence amplifies their power. They create suffering for sustenance. They are the reason Dr. Maxim os Storm carries a banishing dagger inscribed with ancient runes, and a revolver full of silver bullets.

What if you could live for 150 years, but your entire people were dying out?

Dr. Maxim os Storm looks thirty-five years old. He’s actually seventy. He’ll stay in his physical prime for another thirty years, and won’t show his true age until he’s past a hundred. This longevity is the gift, and the curse, of the Stormcrows, a clan of people descended from those who escaped the fall of Thule three thousand years ago.

But living longer than ordinary humans is only the beginning of what makes the Stormcrows unique.
