About this ebook

Not suitable for tweens.

The fourth installment of the Amaranthine series delves back into a world of bloody darkness.

Katelina and Jorick should be planning a trip to the tropics. Instead, they have to rescue a kidnapped vampire. How did humans capture and hold him on their own? Did they have help from an immortal? If so, who?

With the appearance of a serial vampire killer, both the questions and answers grow murky. Is everything connected, or is it just a coincidence? As Oren’s attack on The Guild draws closer, new agendas cut a gruesome path that leads Jorick and Katelina back to the Citadel where the ancient monster Malick reigns.

The flames of war ignite against a backdrop of fear and confused loyalties. Can Jorick and Katelina rise from the ashes, or will they be consumed by the inferno of destruction?

BONUS: Contains Chapter One of the sequel Heart of the Raven

She maintains several blogs, full of odd ramblings, and occasionally updates her website at JoleeneNaylor.com. In what little time is left ,she watches anime, plays PokemonGo, and works on her crooked Victorian house in Villisca, Iowa. Between her husband, family, and pets, she is never lonely, in fact, quite the opposite. Should she disappear, one might look for her on a beach in Tahiti, sipping a tropical drink and wearing a disguise.Ramblings from the Darkness at www.JoleeneNaylor.comYou never know what you’ll find in the shadows.....
