Serpent Son

2018

A Dead Witch. A Dark Elf. An Avenging Wizard. The name’s Corvin Chance, and though I was born with magical abilities, I’d rather be playing my guitar in one of my local pubs. Until someone murdered my mother, that is… Now I’m slinging magic around the streets of Dublin as I try to find out who killed her. Iolas Tasar—a gangster elf who crowned himself King of the South—is my main suspect. But Iolas is powerful and hard to get to, plus he may not be the only one involved, as he is part of a murderous cabal that includes a bloodthirsty vampire prince. If I’m going to take him down, I’m going to need help. Luckily, I have my two best friends: Dalia, a sardonic Demi-Fae who could scare the bejeezus out of Lucifer himself, and Monty, a wise-cracking street magician and YouTube star with a gift for Technomancy and conjuring. Together we will enter a dangerous Dublin underbelly populated by dark elves, vampires, goblins and orcs to discover just who killed my mother and why…if we don’t meet our own horrible deaths first, that is. Join me and my oddball motley crew as we attempt to solve a murder, exact justice and just maybe…get a pint of the black stuff afterward.

Death's Hand

2018

When your best friend is half Fae, things can get a little complicated. Especially when you have to accompany her into the Otherworld because she has been summoned there by a dark Faery Queen with unknown intentions. Now me and my friend Dalia are at the mercy of the formidable Queen Hedrema, who wants us to track down her daughter Sorcha. Sorcha has stolen a powerful artifact that has the potential to bring a horrific darkness down upon the world—including the Otherworld—and she plans to use it. But when the hunt leaves Dalia at death’s door, I find myself alone in the wilds of Ireland, dealing with crazy Fae and ancient Irish gods as I slide further into darkness myself. But then, going to dark places is swiftly becoming a speciality of mine. The only question is: will I make it out in time to save Dalia from death, and the world from plunging into darkness? Not if Sorcha has anything to do with it…

Wild Card

2019

When your back's against the wall, all you can do is fight. That, or hit the bottle. Haunted houses aren't supposed to have embodiments of pure evil living in them. This one did. With Amelia gone, taken by an entity composed of her parent's souls, I've got nowhere left to turn. As I tried to figure out a way to get her back, an old enemy showed up - trailing death in his wake and pinning them all on me. Now I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place... unfortunately it's the kind of spot I'm all to used to.

Rising Son

2019

When your back's against the wall, all you can do is fight. Or hit the bottle… Haunted houses aren't supposed to have embodiments of pure evil living in them. This one did. With Amelia gone, taken by the Dark One—an entity composed of her parent's souls—I have to figure out a way to get her back. But in the meantime, an old enemy has shown up—trailing death in his wake and pinning all the murders on me. Assuming I rescue Amelia and the Dark One doesn’t kill me, I still have to find a way to take down the cult that opposes the Order Of The Serpent, which means taking a crazy journey to a forsaken desert in search of the ultimate evil. And then hope that ultimate evil doesn’t destroy me before I find a way to destroy it. Everything is at stake this time—the world, my soul and the lives of all the people I care about. If I survive, maybe I’ll write a song about it all…though don’t expect to hear this one on the radio.

I’m N.P. Martin and I’m a lover of dark fantasy and horror. Writing stories about magick, the occult, monsters and kickass characters has always been my idea of a dream job, and these days, I get to live that dream. I have tried many things in my life (professional martial arts instructor, bouncer, plasterer, salesman…to name a few), but only the writing hat seems to fit. When I’m not writing, I’m spending time with my wife and daughters at our home in Northern Ireland. Be sure to sign up to my mailing list: https://www.npmartin.com/creed-mailin...
