    About this series

    When the local vampire colony asks a favor of Knight, sheriff of Portland's magical government, he must team up with his vampiric counterpart to solve a series of murders rooted in forbidden magic. What they find could alter the future of vampiric society, and cause a magical war.

    Blood Moon is a standalone novella of 16,000 words or approximately 64 pages. It features characters from The Necromancer's Gambit (The Gambit #1) and Kindred Spirits (The Gambit #2), but you do not need to have read The Necromancer's Gambit to enjoy Blood Moon.

    WARNING: Contains strong adult language and graphic violent content.

    READERS ARE SAYING:

    “Film Noir meets the printed page.”
    Walter Danley, Amazon review for The Necromancer's Gambit

    “If a paranormal film noir was turned into a Dungeons and Dragons style RPG, it would read something like this... Wickedly awesome!”
    Melody, for Up All Night Novels, reviewing The Necromancer's Gambit

    “The book is quirky, ironic, funny, entertaining and written with great prose... Connoisseurs of the detective, fantasy and humour genres should all have a field day with this original piece of work.”
    ChristophFischerBooks, Amazon review for The Necromancer's Gambit

      Knight, the sheriff of a local magical government known as "the Gambit," is called to recover a mutilated body, tainted with magic and dumped at a popular haunt. When the corpse is identified as a close associate of the Gambit, it threatens the safety of the community he protects, and those he cares about most. As the fragile peace amongst the city's magic-wielding factions disintegrates, Knight must track down a cadre of murderers before his friends are picked off, one by one- with each death used to strengthen the spells cast against the Gambit.

      The Portland Gambit survived the Black King's takeover, but not all of the enemies have been identified, and fewer yet have been captured. Wit No Han, a war criminal who assisted the Black King, was deprived of his ability to do magic, and is consumed with revenge. And he's found an unlikely ally in Baldur and the Kindred, a gang of militant magical racist anarchists, making them a far deadlier opponent than before. With a serial killer draining Portland's most powerful mages of blood, another attacking waeres, and other traitors working against the Gambit from the inside, Knight and Rook's brief respite is at an end. The only way out is through as they strive to contain the damage, and disable Wit No Han... again. Kindred Spirits is the second title in The Gambit, following The Necromancer's Gambit.
