Zaria was a princess-not by blood but by capture. She was abducted in her teens from the western Slavic tribes and kept as a virgin by the powerful warring king, Sharvur. Cruel and strategically gifted, his Scythian armies controlled all the territories in the shadows of the Altai Mountains to the east, some twenty-six hundred years before our time. Told by the oldest shaman in his land, that as long as Zaria remained pure of body and did not succumb to the lust which permeated Sharvur's court, his kingdom would remain invincible. But like the fanciful tattoos which Zaria had added each year to her supple body, her curiosity and desires increased, threatening to bring down the empire. In 1993 a team of Russian archaeologists discovered a rich burial tomb on the bleak steppes bordering Russia, Mongolia and Kazakhstan. Frozen and remarkably preserved in the permafrost, they uncovered the mysterious body of a woman they would call the "Siberian Princess." Her body was yet that of a young female, but she had the most compelling tattoos ever discovered in ancient history. This is her story. How she loved and how she died.

The Dark City Chronicles ⁓ Book Two The stakes have never been higher! The Demon's Scion is a darker sequel to its predecessor. Spicy romance, action, seductive vampires, gutsy werewolves, sprinkles of dark humour, and, as always, the everlasting bonds of friendship. Trying to keep her newfound family alive is an endeavour when they're in firefights with crazy cultists, brawling with werewolves, and giving the middle finger to fate itself. Hannah wouldn't give up the headache that is her insane life because she's finally found a place where she belongs, and she'll do anything to keep those she loves safe. Kane, admittedly, might have taken his screw fate mantra too far, and now he's a slave to an idiot vampire that isn't even responsible enough to have a bank account. He's slipping, but he'll need to keep swinging his sword if he wants to keep them both alive and everyone else that's counting on him, because their foes aren't stopping, no matter how many he cuts down. An unwilling star of a twisted play perpetuated by a vampire that went mad centuries ago, Reid is trying to find his feet with his new, blood-drinking lifestyle while fighting to stay one step ahead of their enemies. He's inherited a power that could have him burned alive, but to beat the monster that's plagued his nightmares since the murder of his mother, Reid will have to fall farther than he's ever dared-and hope that love is bright enough to guide him back from the brink.

[Completed] ''I was born in flames and chaos. In one moment, I didn't exist at all. In another, air was tearing through the flesh of my lungs.'' Deep in an unknown forest, a young woman woke up alone and confused. She had no knowledge of her past, what she was, or who she was. Why was she in this world at all? Fate drove her into the hands of a family of vampires, all of whom brought relief in the slightest touch of her skin. But their touch was more than addicting. With each stroke, mysterious etches appeared on her flesh, divulging information thought to be lost to the world; information of magic, power, and a viciously murdered coven of witches. With no past and an uncertain future, she must find out her purpose in this life before the supernatural world takes her for all she has to give. Even more so, she must attempt to understand a craving she has for the dangerous vampire family she's found herself enslaved to; a craving to be touched.
