The Apocalypse was supposed to be the final war against the demons. Only a few days passed before a new evil surfaced. Now, rumors have begun to circulate of a civil war, one with a demonic taint beneath it that hints at an underworld invasion. It is a situation that demands investigation by one of the world’s greatest demonhunters. Still reeling from her unprecedented resurrection and eight years of fighting, Karian Vanador is called upon to look into the threat. Why was the remote island of Tsalbrin chosen? And who – or what – is truly behind the unrest? Assigned to an unlikely group of young heroes, Kari must learn to rely on more than just her legendary prowess. She will need their strength to battle her internal demons, just as these young heroes need her strength to battle their physical foes. Together, they must unravel an underworld plot before Citaria is plunged into worldwide war…again. Salvation's Dawn is the opening volume of the Eve of Redemption series. If you love epic fantasy in the vein of Terry Brooks, RA Salvatore, Raymond E. Feist, Ursula K Le Guin, and similar authors, you'll love the depth, complexity, and far-reaching worlds of this series.

An underworld serial killer prowls the streets. The head of a criminal guild arrives demanding the help of the Order. Things had been quiet since the incident on Tsalbrin, but veteran terra-dracon demonhunter Karian Vanador recognized the calm before the storm all too well. When one of the Order's most prominent mortal enemies arrives on campus demanding help with an underworld threat, Kari knows there has to be a connection to the incident on Tsalbrin. Harried by a deadly foe, Kari must call upon friends old and new to track down an assassin leaving a trail of bodies in her wake. Along the way she must figure out: are the killings just the act of a depraved demon, or an ingenious plot to shatter the barriers between Citaria and the underworld? "White Serpent, Black Dragon" is the second volume in the Eve of Redemption series.

After barely escaping an attempt on her life, veteran demonhunter Karian Vanador must root out infiltrators within her own Order. At the same time, she is presented with a unique opportunity: infiltrate the very realm of the demon kings to bring back a possible defector. With a family to consider, and the risk of inciting a war between two worlds, Kari must decide: is the life of a syrinthian priestess worth the risk? If she goes, she will be tested to the limits of her courage, wits, and faith to navigate safely through the schemes of the demon kings. If she succeeds, she may bring back someone that can tip the balance, but if she fails, she will leave more than a widower and a motherless child behind. With the help of allies new and old, can Kari outwit and outmaneuver beings that are thousands of years old? And what other secrets will she uncover that could possibly shatter every truth she's ever known? Serpents Rising is the thrilling third volume in the epic Eve of Redemption series for fans of Terry Brooks, Raymond E. Feist, RA Salvatore, Ursula K Le Guin, and similar authors. Grab your copy now and join Kari on her first foray into the underworld!

In the wake of a deadly attack, veteran demonhunter Karian Vanador faces a daunting task: sending her friends and family into danger without being at their side. With her pregnancy progressing, she must see to other tasks: she must uncover a spy within her own Order, expose servants of the demon kings living right in her home city, and match wits with enemies that she knows little, if anything, about. And in all of this, she must act as a general, putting the lives of her friends and family at risk to see to an end she can't accomplish herself. Erijinkor Tesconis also faces a daunting task: he must lead the Silver Blades and their allies without Kari's expertise and sword arm. Though a capable leader, he and his companions face an unknown danger, something only seen once before in the world. Adding to the pressures of his task are challenges he is ill-prepared for: allying with werewolves, taking up authority over nobility, and working to patch relationships among his own family. Both will face tests that push them to their limits, weighing the balance of love for their families against duty and a deep-seated desire to protect an entire world. But can either of them stand against the legacy of the Devil Queen herself? Legacy of the Devil Queen is the fourth book in the Eve of Redemption series.

As the web of deceit and lies widens, Karian Vanador must try to find allies - however unlikely - to combat the enemies of the Demonhunter Order, or at least set them against each other. Effectively forced into a visit to the volatile King Koursturaux S'Bakthra, Kari must try to match wits with a being over twelve thousand years old. Can she turn an enemy into an unwitting ally, without having the same done to her? This is to say nothing of Kari's testing to become her deity's avatar. An age-old enemy comes back into Kari's life, forcing her to walk away from an ailing husband and young children to see to her god's wishes. Worse, she must leave behind friends and family as well to avoid having them used as tools against her. It seems a straightforward hunt, but as she uncovers more and more plots, it will be anything but... What new allies will she find as she returns to the land of her birth, the nations where she was a legend, and can they stand against these ancient enemies?

When a demon king demands the repayment of a favor, Kari finds herself prisoner to his wishes. But all is not as it appears... Working behind enemy lines, Kari must turn the unexpected into an advantage. War between the worlds of Citaria and Mehr’Durillia is inevitable, but the question of where it will be fought lies in her hands. If she can strike just the right blow, Kari may keep the battle far from the realms of her people. If she can gain the blessing of a demon king, the acceptance of an enemy people, and the love of a demoness, can she restore the faith of a people enslaved for over ten thousand years?

With her brother-in-law imprisoned behind enemy lines, Kari must mount a daring rescue to rival her previous forays to Mehr'Durillia. The problem is, the battles she's fought in recent weeks have left her in no condition to go anywhere... Now she must lean on the tactical and fighting expertise of her former commander, Kris Jir'tana, to lead the Silver Blades in their covert mission. But she will not be idle, for there are many battles left to be fought at home. In the wake of the attack upon her home city, she must uncover a treachery decades old and buried deep to prevent DarkWind and Citaria from becoming battlegrounds. Justice, vengeance, and retribution will collide in a convergence of fates that will change the destinies of three worlds forever...

The dead are rising from their graves. Somewhere beneath the land of Terrassia, something stirs from its ages-old slumber. Leighandra Evenstar planned to attend the resulting summit of nations simply to chronicle the problem and the suggested solutions. Soon, however, she finds herself wrapped up with a group of young heroes intent on making solutions rather than talking about them. They are an odd assortment - humans, an elf, and one of the wolf-like luranar - and yet Leighandra finds purpose in the unity of peoples and nations. Will it be enough? Can the gathering of many peoples from many nations stop the awakening of an ancient evil? Or will Terrassia be the first continent to fall? The Awakening is the eighth installment in the Eve of Redemption series, chronicling the events on Terrassia just after Kari's hunt for Annabelle. Join this new band of heroes as they seek their destiny, complementing the work of Karian Vanador and the Silver Blades in the ultimate fight against the demon kings!

War has erupted on three worlds. A hero king lies in chains in a demon-controlled realm. Kari and her allies are beset on all sides, both at home and in their enemies' lands. All is not lost, however, for the keys to the ancient Temple of Archons have been gathered and Salvation's Dawn stands at the fore. At last, the Temple of Archons will be opened, the intentions of the gods made clear. The hope of all mankind rests upon this event, and the forces of Light stand to open the Temple before the demon kings become aware. If they can do this, they may finally gain the advantage they have long sought over their nemeses. But all is not so simple. King Kalamaris Talvorus must still be rescued from Mehr'Durillia, and Kari must coordinate her efforts with those of Citaria's sister worlds. Every success only adds another layer of defense to Mehr'Durillia, further reinforcing the iron grip of the Overking. It will take every ally, every soldier, every man and woman willing to stand up and fight to bring victory and freedom to the world of demons. The Redemption is at hand...

From the ashes a new life is born. Kari and her allies have seen numerous miracles in recent months, from the glorious rebirth of a friend to the unprecedented alliance of many peoples from across Terrassia and beyond. Now, all the pieces are in place, the military campaign known as The Phoenix Ascension ready to be put into motion. All hope - not just on Terrassia or even Citaria as a whole, but on her sister worlds of Irrathmor and Mehr'Durillia as well - now rests on the execution of this plan. Failure will mean the end of the last chance of liberating Mehr'Durillia and the deaths of the final defenders of Citaria. Now, the time has come to find the truth behind the cunning priestess Ehren Hrykel and the god-like Tempis'ra. Will the alliance of many nations, many races, and many faiths, bolstered by the power of dragons, be enough to stand against the foothold of the demons? And what other mysteries will come to light as the heroes push toward victory? Join Karian Vanador and her allies in the tenth installment of the Eve of Redemption series as she takes one step closer to her destiny, whatever that may be...

The war for Mehr’Durillia has begun. With the Council of Anthraxis shattered, only four kings remain to counter the collective armies of Mehr’Durillia’s six sister worlds. But three of these are by far the worst of the lot: the eldest, most destructive kings, the very architects of the destruction of a deity and the enslavement of multiple worlds. There is little doubt that they will fight to the bitter end and cast every life they can into the maw of war before they admit defeat. For nearly twenty years, Karian Vanador has fought against everything these demon kings stand for, but now, she must face them directly. With armies coming from six allied worlds, she has the force to take the fight to her enemies, but while assured the odds are in her favor, Kari has never been one to fight wars without considering the personal costs. With most of her friends and family in the vanguard, she knows this fight will carry a much higher price than win or lose. And all this is to say nothing of yet more time away from her children and home. Things have come full circle. Those who were once Kari’s enemies are now counted among her staunchest allies. She has helped to bring together six worlds: countless peoples of varying races, faiths, strengths, and weaknesses. The time has come for Salvation’s Dawn to cast the reflected light of the gods into the darkness, and to take the fight to the hellish denizens that dwell there. For the only other alternative is to accept the yoke of eternal slavery at the hands of the demons and their true king. In all of it, Kari must cling to the battle cry of the gods and what it truly means in this 11th and final installment of the epic Eve of Redemption Series.
