Sons of Darkness Excerpt
Sons of Darkness Excerpt Gail Z. Martin
When a series of disappearances, suicides, and vengeful spirits cause havoc and death along a remote interstate highway, demon-hunting ex-priest Travis Dominick teams up with former special ops soldier and monster-hunter Brent Lawson to end the problem with extreme prejudice.
She writes stories that you can't put down. A wonderful imagination coupled with a love of history.
You can't go wrong with a story set in the Chronicles of the Necromancer world! I love her characters and you get sucked in from the first chapter!
Gail Z Martin never disappoints. Her books are fast-paced, roiling adventures that leave you wanting more.
I recently had the pleasure of reading Gail Z. Martin's The Summoner, the first installment of the Chronicles of the Necromancer. I enjoyed it so much that I immediately grabbed Scourge, the first book in her Darkhurst series, off the shelf at my local bookstore. Now I have TWO new series to finish reading!
If you enjoy fantasy, give this a chance. Prepare to be entertained for hours by a gripping plot, compelling characters, and a unique world.
A great story for fans of epic fantasy.

Children of The Gods: A Soren Darnega Novelette DH Bookstore
We were children of the gods, known to be the most dangerous and powerful species to ever live.
That was why we were hunted.
With both Depleters and Collectors seeking to eradicate our kind, we hid within moving villages throughout the Wild Lands with only one rule: Never go near another Gods Child.
But that rule was broken the moment I met Jackie.
And in that moment, our fates were set in stone.

Descendant of The Dammed
Descendant of The Dammed DH Bookstore
I was a descendant of the damned, destined for unfortunate things.
It was just that simple, and for a long time, I accepted it.
But when my leader gave me a thirteen year old girl named Jackie and forced me into guardianship, things seemed to lose their simplicity.
I was a hunter and a killer. Not a babysitter, and I had lost too much in my life to risk getting attached to her.
And yet, the more time we spent together, the more I began wanting things that I couldn't have.
Things like a family. Things like a better life for the two of us.
I should've known the gods would never allow me happiness.

The Rise of the Phoenix
The Rise of the Phoenix Mason Sabre
Cast out by his own family after a wolf’s bite infects him, a young thirteen-year-old boy is forced to roam the streets and fend for himself. In a world of Humans and Others, he belongs to neither. No longer considered Human, but nor a purebred Other, a race of powerful supernatural beings, he will be unwanted and hunted by both.
Danger lurks at every turn. Young, vulnerable and afraid, he tries to come to terms with the physical changes taking place in him while at the same time trying to find a way to survive.
In a menacing world filled with threats and hate, is there any hope of salvation for this orphaned fledgling?
Please note, this is a Society Short.

Resonance C.S. Vass
She’s an orphan, abused…and deadly.
Years of training have tempered her abilities like goddess-blessed steel.
But what good will it do when she can’t tell friend from foe?
Fiona’s city is in turmoil. Nobles vanish without a trace, and Haygarden’s people can’t agree which shadowy force is to blame.
Each night the assaults grow bolder. That’s why the Duke sends in Fiona’s brother—if the leader of an elite group of assassins can’t solve this problem, then nobody can.
That is, until Rodrick is kidnapped as well.
Can Fiona muster up the strength to save him? The city seems determined to stop her, but she’s never been one to listen to rules. Or fear banging swords with the underworld’s most fearsome villains.
Check it out now!
