The Witch Hunter

2013

Zachary Degaud was twenty three when he died. The problem was, he didn't stay that way. Present day, he's just another vampire with another unremarkable story. That is, until he manages to provoke a two thousand year old witch named Katrin, who wants to make him pay in the most horrible way imagined. Along with his brother Sam, newly made vampire Liz and their only witch ally, Gabby, his only chance for survival is to summon the ancient and unpredictable vampire known as the Witch Hunter. Zac is just looking for a way out of his psychopathic witch problems, but instead will find himself falling head first into a blood feud that has stretched thousands of years. Aya has been asleep for the past 150 years, until she was awoken by a haunting call. The witch she has been hunting for thousands of years, Katrin, has resurfaced and marked a young, annoyingly arrogant vampire by the name of Zachary Degaud. Unless she does something, he will die a slow and painful death. He has given her an opportunity to end the witch, but does she want to help him or leave him to his fate? Zac will get under her skin like no one else has and she just might find herself making the ultimate sacrifice before he is gone forever. They will both have to choose sides and look deep within themselves before the end. But, what Zac learns about himself, will surprise him most of all.

The Return

2013

Zac's afterlife is just going from bad to worse. He grew a heart only to have it torn out by the founding vampire, Arturius. Nobody is sure what he wants, but Zac doesn't want to know. He's more interested in finding a way to end him for good. But, it might just be that he's after Gabby, who's harbouring a secret of her own, one that Arturius would do anything for. Aya's past will come back to haunt Zac in ways he never thought possible and what he finds out will alter everything he ever knew about her. He will uncover a deadly secret that should have remained buried. A secret Aya has fought to keep for thousands of years. One she has killed for. In the end, who's secrets will betray them to the one man who wants them all dead? Aya's or Zac's? They'll need to figure it out sooner rather than later, because death is not an option.

The Shadow's Son

2013

When a mysterious stranger from Aya's past shows up in Ashburton it's not all good news. Tristan, a man she saved almost a thousand years ago, brings a warning that will affect not just her, but her new family. Regulus is coming. To protect Zac, Aya has to destroy the best thing that has ever happened to her. She has to pretend that their love has been a lie. But, is it really the right thing to do? Aya travels to the other side of the world with Tristan to learn the secret behind Zac's blood and to hunt down Regulus before he can find them first. Tristan is her way into the Roman's circle, but she might just find that both her quests are more linked than she ever thought possible. Heartbroken again, Zac must surrender to the darkest places inside himself if he ever hopes of coming back. Even if that means aligning himself with his greatest enemy. Even if that means turning his back on everything he's worked for and walking away from his brother, Sam. Lovers are torn apart, friends are pitted against each other and families are splintered. But, what they find buried under the streets of London will change everything they've ever known about their world. Something that should have been left alone. But, what Regulus does is the most unexpected of all.

The Awakening

I have seen empires crumble and kings and queens fall. I have seen mountains of fire and the bowels of the earth as it was ripped asunder. I have seen plagues of death claim good along with evil.

I have died a thousand deaths and lived a thousand lives. I have been called countless names, but only one has followed me from my tormented birth. I am the devourer of worlds. Take a deep breath, my friend, because it will be your last. Are you afraid? You will be. \* The Coven has finally managed to awaken an ancient horror after thousands of years searching for the key. The Romans thought they were the first of their kind. But, they might just learn that there are older and more evil things in the world. Things that should have remained buried and forgotten. Things that should have been left alone. Aya, Zac and the few left they can call friends are scattered. Zac has left with Nye to find the Three and taken Aya's heart with him. But, Aya has her own path to follow. One that will take her back to the dark past of her own kind, where wars were fought and secrets and betrayals walked hand in hand. To get answers she will need the help of one of the most powerful witches to ever walk the earth, the founding witch Katrin. But, Katrin is dead by her hand. They will need all the allies they can get. Even if they come in the form of their greatest enemies. There is only one way to get through this… together. What comes next will change the game and ignite a fear greater than anything they've ever known. The epic battle that could see the end of all things is just beginning.

Young Blood

2014

The day Liz Evans went for a run in the forest, she didn't expect to die. She didn't expect to wake up, either. And to top it all off, her best friend Gabby turns out to be a witch. Like a real life witch. Not to mention her new boyfriend Sam and his egotistical brother Zac turning out to be something other than human. Her world is turned upside down in an instant and all those dreams she's had of going off to college and falling in love have gone right out of the window. All she can think about is blood and it takes all she's got to not go on a murderous rampage through town. With a little help from Zac, the guy she's definitely not meant to have feelings for, her life is able to go back to normal. Well, as normal as being a vampire can be. When she can finally cope with the thing she's become, there's only one question she wants answers to. And it's the one that mightn't have any at all. Who the hell would want to turn her? \* Young Blood is a Witch Hunter Saga novella that is part prequel, part companion. One half spans the time before The Witch Hunter (#1) and one half of the story occurs during the events taking place in The Awakening (#4). It can be read as a stand alone, however there may be some spoilers for the first three books of the main series.
