Collection: Fantasy

Half-vampire Catherine Crawfield is going after the undead with a vengeance, hoping that one of these deadbeats is her father--the one responsible for ruining her mother's life. Then she's captured by Bones, a vampire bounty hunter, and is forced into an unholy partnership.

In exchange for finding her father, Cat agrees to train with the sexy night stalker until her battle reflexes are as sharp as his fangs. She's amazed she doesn't end up as his dinner--are there actually good vampires? Pretty soon Bones will have her convinced that being half-dead doesn't have to be all bad. But before she can enjoy her newfound status as kick-ass demon hunter, Cat and Bones are pursued by a group of killers. Now Cat will have to choose a side . . . and Bones is turning out to be as tempting as any man with a heartbeat.

"HERE IS TODAY'S LESSON; HEROES DIE..."

It's fifteen years since the Orcs were defeated. Fifteen years since a new king rose from the battlefield. Fifteen years since Illian knew the horror of war.

Fifteen years of peace are about to end.

Something is coming. Shadows gather. Whispers of rebellion have reached the king. Darkness stirs beyond Illian's borders.

Beyond the mountains, Dhenaheim has lost a quiet war. Refugees pour into Illian, bringing suspicion and unrest. For Doran Heavybelly, Dhenaheim's war means facing a personal tragedy that demands his attention... and his axe.

A simple job for too much coin should have been warning enough for Asher but, like Fate, trouble always has a way of finding him.

Conspiracy. Rebellion. Betrayal. Time to find out who the real heroes are.

THE KNIGHTS OF ERADOR CONTINUES THIS UNMISSABLE EPIC FANTASY SERIES.
