Vampiris Sancti Series

Elves have mastered four elements that ensure their survival in the harshest of environments; they lie exceptionally well, their preference for the unexpected is constant, they can often hide in plain sight, and if worse comes to worse they can seduce their way into safety. Zyre is no exception as she uses all her magical abilities to escape being stalked by a dangerous demon prince. The universe a magical elf Zyre is from co-exists with both the human and demon worlds, only reached by a doorway called the Reveal. A doorway she is forced to use to escape an arranged marriage. What should have been nothing more than the lark of stealing chocolate in the human world instead has her making pacts with Vampires as she challenges the entire Empire. The local prince thinks he can handle both Zyre and the plots of a bandit, but then again trust a demon to believe they are the most dangerous creature around. Her foray into this new world has her in the midst of strange political factions, bandits, and Vampire schemes while attempting to protect the vulnerable humans. The unrelenting pursuit of her by an obsessed demon brings the world to the brink of invasion by demon Raiders led by his scorned bride. As Zyre faces the actuality of power within the universe while she struggles with the notion of friendship, loyalty, the reality of her world, the choice of whether to pursue the dangerous decision of revenge, or give into the obsessive love of another.

Book 2 in the Vampiris Sancti Series. My name was Bethany Trent and at age twenty three years, six months, four days and ten minutes I ceased to exist. Don’t misunderstand I didn’t die, I won’t die for an eternity by human standards, instead I was removed from everything that used to be my life. Created as a tool for revenge, Bethany Trent discovered herself Unveiled as a Vampire for no more reason that she resembled a long dead woman. She found herself caught between the machinations of a demon Empire she never knew existed, the unexpected friendship of a magical Elf, and century old Vampire feuds. Renamed after a dead woman, she struggled to survive not only her new mutation but also the unexpected attraction to the one who owned her future.

If the worlds of the Reveal were to be viewed from the outside, it would seem that humans wished to be Vampires, Vampires wished to be demons, demons wished to be magical, and the magical wished for peace of mind. It had taken many years for the demon prince of the human world to organise a betrothal with a magical Elf as well as orchestrate her arrival on world. Then there were the problems of getting her to stop causing mischief everywhere she went, hiding out among Vampires, and poking her nose into every intrigue she found. Zyre had captured the stern heart of the Martyc demon but as a son of the Empire, he was not free to pursue her until he had reached the status of prince. Once in possession of wealth and authority he ensured the Elders of her world put her forth for an arranged marriage. The only problem was that the Elf absconded before anyone told her. Now he had to fight off a scorned woman while chasing a desired one, unravel the plots of Vampires as well as negotiate the treachery of one of his own kind. Then again, he was the most revered prince of the Martyc Empire and if anyone could pull off the impossible—it would be Vryn Dhaigre.

The immaculate creature known as Florian Ribeni prized being a Vampire for he was vain enough to choose beauty and youth over wisdom and wise enough to appreciate a life without the boundaries of death, illness, or poverty. Not quite tied to gender preference Florian spent his nights lusting after the unattainable or engaging in sexual misadventures while shirking anything resembling responsibility. The last to serve his community he preferred the lighter aspects of life, fashion, gossip, good wine laced with sanctioned blood and seduction. Florian loved seduction above all things and if not for a troublesome Elf, a demon bandit, his personal anger at witnessing the demise of Vampires, he would be leading the aimless, artless, and trite life that he adored. Then there was the Pixie, an inebriated sot with sudden affections and even more sudden dislikes. Beb decided Florian was his new best friend and offered his much unwanted and erratic help to the newly conscripted Runner. Chasing after a deviant Vampire and running from a cannibal cult the pair was determined to save the world—if only an annoying Mage and some arrogant demons would keep out of the way.
