Red Chronicles Series

I refused my legacy, but my destiny doesn't want to take no for an answer. The plan seemed simple. Run away from home. Go to college. Pretend I wasn't raised to control silver with magic, dance around a fire under a full moon, or guard the barriers between lupines and clueless humans. And for a while, it was that simple. Then, Tobias Somfield had to walk into that alley and into my life, with his English swagger and his sorrowful tale of woe. Sure, the lone werewolf may have come to my rescue, but that doesn't mean I owe him anything, right? Even if his mate was kidnapped and I'm the only one in Chicago with the skills, connections, and know-how needed to help find and free her, I'm only one little red hood in a big, dangerous city ruled by vampires. What am I supposed to do, stake my way to a rescue? Take on older, stronger supes who could literally eat me for breakfast? Miss my finals to go play heroine and save the day? Don't hesitate, dive into Reluctant today!

I was trying to avoid any werewolves in my life, and now I have to live with one? I want to worry about human things like how to dress for the first day of a new job or how to sneak a silver dagger past the metal detectors when I get there.  But when you’re working in a company run by vampires, human concerns become trivial. What’s not is figuring out why my undead bosses are trapping and killing werewolves. But that might not be the only secret hiding in the walls of the WWL Corporation, and what I soon discover could turn the supernatural world on its head (and land me on my back). And to cap it all off, somehow Tobias Somfield, the English werewolf I rescued from moon madness last summer, is now my roommate. All he does is brood and mope and wind up my worst instincts, constantly reminding me of how very un-human I really am. Tolerating him is darn near impossible, and the growing pull I feel toward him? Completely insane.  Relinquished takes readers further into the complex supernatural world of balances: slayers and vampires, hoods and werewolves. This imaginative urban fantasy series reinvents the classic Little Red Riding Hood legend. If you like headstrong heroines, original fantasy worlds, and fresh takes on fairy tales, then you’ll love The Red Chronicles!

I came to the Black Forest seeking refuge. I will leave seeking revenge. The more I learn about what I really I am, the less I understand who I’m meant to be. Hood? Werewolf? Something else altogether? Figuring that out will have to wait. The fate of the slayers has been forced into my hands, and for their sake and mine, I need to hand them off to someone else ASAP. Where else could I go but to the hoods? Convincing the Council of Matrons to offer asylum makes escaping from Istanbul and Vlad Tepeş’s harem look like pup’s play. Between court politics and the revelation of my family’s darkest secrets, I fight to save the ones I love and keep a supernatural race from going extinct. If I can keep from dying in the process, that would just be peachy too. But when presented with an impossible choice, who will I rescue and who will I condemn to die? The penultimate installment in the Red Hood Chronicles Pentalogy, Rebellious Hood pits vampires, hoods, wolves, and slayers on the edge of a battle the likes of which the supernatural world has never seen.

I may be relinquished, but I am resigned. I will see the Ravens destroyed. Istanbul harbors the ancient clutch of vampires known as the Ravens, but the city has a thousand shadows and a million secrets. What I find there will be far more than I bargained for, and nothing I could have imagined. Some legends don’t want to be told. The city pulses with duality, echoing my own. Stuck between worlds, belonging to neither the supernatural nor the human realms, my destiny dances on a sword’s edge… Caleb, the last slayer, makes no secret that he wants me in his life, but I know Tobias needs me more. And when we finally ferret out the nest of the infamous Vlad Tepeş, I will need them both more than ever. But will they be ready to stand beside me when the truth is revealed?

Can your name decide your fate? I was named after Gerwalta Faust, and if that means nothing to you, then you don't know the real story of Little Red Riding Hood. It is my birthright to lead the House of Red, my destiny to be the next Grand Matron of all hoods. But as the namesake of the Betrayer, am I also doomed to repeat her crimes? Maybe. I too have fallen in love with a werewolf, and that alone could get us both killed. I don't want to be his enemy, but I also can't imagine living without him. Soon, I'll have to make a choice: my heart or my hood. Or can I rewrite history and become the Gerwalta who can have them both? The prequel to the bestselling urban fantasy fairy tale, The Red Chronicles.

He cannot win. I won’t let him. When Igor Kharmarov sacrificed himself to save me, he unwittingly left his eldest son as the paterfamilias of the most lethal of vampiric bloodlines. Now Dracula commands more than a few surviving sycophants. He has an entire army at his command, and they’re all coming for me. But when they find me, I won’t be alone. Together, hoods, wolves, and slayers will don our cloaks, take our fur, and call upon the power of the sun itself to defeat him. Vlad Tepes wanted to enslave the slayers and unmake the wolves. He wanted to take me away from Tobias and use our daughter as a tool. He'll choke on each of his ambitions as I stuff them down his throat. Three bloodlines flow through my veins, and each has a cause for revenge. I will make this world safe for all the creatures of the night. Even if I have to deceive those I love to do so… But what did they expect from the namesake of the Betrayer? The final installment in the Red Chronicles. See how it all ends now!

I wasn't supposed to fall in love with a werewolf, but he wasn't supposed to break my heart. But he did, and I can either wallow in misery for the rest of my life, or accept that being named after Little Red doesn't mean I have to remake all her mistakes. There's a world out there that doesn't know anything about fated mates, ancient vampire bloodlines, or hoods who magically control silver and have a permanent stick up their butts. (Or at least, the ones in my family do.) A world where I'm not constantly harangued by my mother to finally become the "wolf watcher" I was born to be and assume my rightful place at her side. And it's a world I'm growing to love, with its quirky humans, awesome Thai dumplings, and total lack of lupines...until the night an English werewolf shows up out of the blue and saves my life. All Tobias Somfield wants in return is a little help to track down some vampires. Only, what we discover when we do opens up our eyes to an entirely different kind of destiny. One that was laid down centuries ago when a warrior in a red hood and the alpha werewolf who loved her betrayed their own kind, creating enemies across the entire supernatural world in the process. Or was that really what happened at all, and will the truth, once revealed, save us or lead to our doom? And can we find some great kebabs some where along the way? The Red Chronicles is a mythpunked urban fantasy series spiked with comedy, mystery, and yes, a little romance along the way. Fur up and fly along!
