About this series

From the Publisher that brought you popular short story series Witching Call, Hostile Hearts, Earthbound Angels, The January Morrison Files Psychic Series, Ralph's Gift, Song of Teeth, Children of Time, Tropical Storms, Friend Zone and now the complete book of the Chains of Darkness Series....

There is the never-ending battle of light and darkness that symbolizes the balance of the world. This balance is threatened by one entity - a being that is both a demon and angel. It should be stopped in its quest of ultimate destruction. And one teen-age girl is chosen to do just that. Is she up for the task?

Fifteen-year-old Melinda escapes the madness of the cult she was trapped in since she became an orphan, but not without bringing with her a boy named Caleb. She has a unique ability of seeing what regular people cannot—the aura of angels and demons. Caleb has the fading aura of an angel and he was imprisoned and tortured by the Elders of the cult. With the help of Gabe, a close friend she has not seen for three years, Melinda escapes with Caleb.

Melinda and Gabe discover what Caleb really is—an evil force that will upset the balance of good and evil that has existed for millennia. He can only be subsumed by the one whose blood runs in his veins, a fallen angel named Daniel. But Daniel is in hell, being tortured for all eternity.

Angel Ariel and Demon Azgaroth attempt to use Melinda to stop Caleb, but even as she is willing, things still take a turn for the worse when they all realize it's not that simple. Their attempt to find a way to stop him will take them to the ends of the earth and to hell and back, in a journey that is beyond enemies and friends, beyond love and hope, and beyond the need to survive....

EXCERPT

“I DON'T UNDERSTAND,” Melinda says, now. “What’s this got to do with Caleb?”

“After Daniel fell from grace, we lost track of him,” Ariel says. “A few years later, Father Pendleton informed us that he’d died in a car accident. He performed the last rites and sent us a vial of his blood, as a kind of memento, or something. I don’t know—you humans are always so sentimental.

“Anyway, after the magma worm killed Uriel, we—and by that I mean the seraphim—nullified the truce and were commanded to catch a demon. What hell did to Remiel, we would do to one of theirs, so we caught a demon, and then the archangels used Daniel’s blood to wrestle him into an angelic form, and bind him to our side. At least, that was the idea, because he escaped before he could be bound, and, well, you’ve seen what he can do.”

“So how do you stop him?” Melinda asks.

“That’s the thing. We can’t,” Azgaroth says. “Neither of us can kill our own kind. And since he’s half of each, nobody can touch him. The only one that can kill him is the one who spawned him, and Daniel is already dead.”

“But he did father a child before he died,” Ariel jumps in, before Melinda can say anything. “A daughter.”

And Melinda puts two and two together, and suddenly their interest in her makes a lot more sense. “So...you’re saying that I’m the only one who can stop him,” Melinda says, slowly.

Now she understands—or at least, she thinks she does—why Caleb didn’t destroy her and Gabe.

    The clock is ticking, and time is running out... NOT ALL THINGS BOUND IN CHAINS SHOULD BE FREED Time for Melinda is fast running out. Time for her to make her escape. And time to make a daring rescue. The only thing fifteen-year-old Melinda has been thinking about ever since she found out that she was betrothed to a man twice her age was how to escape the madness of the cult she had been trapped in. But escape seems easier said than done, especially since Melinda is being kept under the watchful eyes of her Uncle, an Aunt who never seems to sleep, and the Elders. Melinda has the unique ability to see things no one can, like Angels and, once one Halloween, a demon. Her power also allows her to see a boy named Caleb, who isn't really a boy but has the fading aura of an Angel, get captured by the Elders. Kept in chains and tortured, Calebís agonizing cries are a constant reminder of why she must get as far away from the cult as she can. She must escape, and soon, but not without trying to rescue Caleb. Does Melinda have the power to not only save herself, but to save Caleb? And if she can save him, has she saved an angelÖ or a demon? If you wish to read more, download and find out what happens!

Unholy Alliances LINES IN THE SAND Angels, demons, and creatures that are made of both. Melinda and Gabe discover what Caleb really is--a force that will upset the balance of good and evil that has existed for millenia, a creature that cannot be killed by either side and can only be subsumed by the one who's blood runs in his veins. There's just one problem: Daniel is in hell, being tortured for all eternity.

EXCERPT That was an angel’s life. Sometimes, like now, faced with darkness in all directions and the enormity of eternity, he waxed philosophical—was it really a life, if he couldn’t die? Back to business. He closed his eyes and let his senses expand, to see if he could detect the ethereal glow of demons and their SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITIES. There was nothing, as he expected. No glow in his conscious, no activity he could detect. In the distance, he could hear the roar of car engines coming his way, getting louder and sliding into a high whine as they strained up the steep incline. He ignored it, for now—he’d left his blinkers on, so he wasn’t too worried about them running him over the edge of the cliff. But just to be sure, he sent his mind towards the sound, and was surprised by how fast they were moving. As he probed a bit more, he suddenly realized that it wasn’t just a car moving up the hill. They were street racing, and they were heading right... for... Him. Download and discover why readers are raving about Eve Hathaway. Scroll up and get the book now!

    From the Publisher that brought you popular short story series Witching Call, Hostile Hearts, Earthbound Angels, The January Morrison Files Psychic Series, Ralph's Gift, Children of Time, Chains of Darkness, Tropical Storms and Friend Zone... Rocks and Hard Places INTO THE MAW Melinda and Gabe learn that they must free Daniel from hell, except that they have no idea how to find him or how to break the chains of darkness which bind him--or, indeed, any idea of what awaits them in hell. Azgaroth and Ariel cannot help them on their task. Melinda and Gabe must keep their wits about them as they negotiate their way into the very center of hell and break the unbreakable chains of darkness that bind Daniel. But that's nothing compared to how they are going to get out again...and Melinda uncovers a startling power within her that could change the course of events for everyone. If you wish to read more, download now! FREE BONUS FOR YOU AT THE END OF THE BOOK! EXCERPT “Yes.” Gabe looks distraught at this news, so much so that Azgaroth adds, “If it helps, the amount of torment and pain is variable, and can be assigned depending on where you fall on the scales of goodness and evil. Which, before you ask, is something you humans also seem to never understand. We’re not interested in what you did or didn’t do. There is no celestial scorecard keeping tabs on which sin got canceled out by which good deed. Nobody cares about deeds. You could have personally walked up to and killed everybody who died in the Holocaust, and still end up in a lesser circle than the person who steps on kittens because he likes to hear them scream. We are more interested in the impurities of your soul. The more spotted it is—the farther you deviate from the path of creation and the more you celebrate destruction—that determines how much agony you suffer.” Gabe has a frightened look about him as he contemplates this. Melinda reaches across the seat and takes Gabe’s hand. “Love creates,” she says, trying to break him out of this funk. Download and discover why readers are raving about Eve Hathaway.

Who will win in the Last Stand? LUX AERTENA — ETERNAL LIGHT Things go to hell, ironically enough. When Melinda and Gabe manage to leave hell they carried Daniel with them. Caleb is hunting her all over the world. Left suddenly alone, Melinda has no idea where Azgaroth took Gabe and Daniel. Luck leads her to them — and to Ophelia, a woman who provides the weapon they need to stop Caleb. But Caleb is more clever than Melinda is, and her plans quickly unravel. Can she manage to stop Caleb before they all become completely undone? If you wish to read more, download now! FREE BONUS FOR YOU AT THE END OF THE BOOK! EXCERPT Even more surprising is that it works. Daniel’s body arches and twists, but the unnatural bends in his limbs straighten, and the back of his head is... replaced, as far as Melinda can see, through some magic she doesn’t want to contemplate. His eyeballs pull back into their sockets— In the distance, the fireworks display for the night starts going up. Enormous chrysanthemums of red and gold explode overhead. She sees Gabe’s silhouette making its way back towards them, and she starts waving, hoping to catch his eye. But Gabe doesn’t wave back, and as he climbs back over the barbed wire she sees why: Caleb is following him. Caleb has assumed his original form again, of the pale-haired, gray-eyed boy Melinda had rescued. “Azgaroth, hurry up,” Melinda murmurs, fighting down the panic that’s threatening to come up. “Healing isn’t something that can just be done, you know,” Azgaroth mutters, and resumes his chants. Daniel’s burnt flesh is turning pink again. “It takes time for the mud to recognize what it’s supposed to do and look like.” “Can he let go?” Melinda asks. “Yes.” Download and discover why readers are raving about Eve Hathaway.
