    Truth comes at a cost. Beneath New York City, three brutal murders tear open a secret war that has survived for centuries. Detective Alexi Shard knows the crime scene isn't the work of humans. The blood left behind tells a story that whispers of predators hidden in plain sight. When her investigation crosses paths with Maxx DeSilva, a powerful and elusive figure with ties to the city's oldest occult institutions, Alexi is forced to confront a truth most people never see, and never survive knowing. Maxx is more than just a corporate titan. He is an immortal werewolf, governed by ancient laws, committed to protecting a secret world that must stay hidden at all costs-even when it starts to turn against his own bloodline: his vampire wife, Sofia, and their hybrid daughter, Seraphine. When a subway killing exposes fractures in the secret world of vampires and werewolves, Maxx must confront his estranged daughter Aiyana, the ruthless assassin grooming her, and councils eager to make his family a scapegoat. As a mortal detective crosses into immortal politics, every choice threatens to shatter the code that keeps humanity safe and the family holding it together. Loyalty will be tested. Bloodlines exposed. And once the truth is revealed, there is no returning to the dark. The Cost of Knowing is a dark urban fantasy about secrecy, power, and the price of protecting those you love-set in a world where monsters are real, and the most dangerous truths are the ones we choose to see.

    A hidden prophecy. Two warring "vampire" factions. One city on the brink of chaos. Leo has always known something about him was different-stronger, faster, and darker than he could explain. Raised by adoptive parents in Dallas, his past is a mystery. So is the strange pull inside him. When a trail of subtle clues leads him to the shadow-drenched streets of Malmö, Sweden, he hopes to find answers. What he finds instead is a city teetering on the edge of a supernatural civil war. On one side are the Everborns, second-class "vampires" led by the enigmatic Jericho. On the other are the Night Walkers, the "pure-blood" elite who will stop at nothing to maintain control. At the center of the conflict lies a stolen item and a blurry prophecy of a boy who will either unite or destroy both worlds. Some believe Leo is that savior. Others think he's just a chess piece in a much larger game. Caught between survival and loyalty, fate and ideology, Leo must navigate a foreign landscape where the rules are unknown. Everborns or Night Walkers-he must choose a side. The Everborn is a brisk, visceral Urban Fantasy Thriller for fans of Jim Butcher's Twelve Months and Lena Meydan's Twilight Forever Rising. "Nixon's series opener pits dueling vampire factions against each other in a brisk, tense urban fantasy where neither side occupies clean moral ground. Thanks to Nixon's skill at action sequences-visceral fight scenes and a chilling cinema-worthy vampire feast-the revelations land with genuine force. A confident series opener." - BookLife

    I had one job to do. Only one, and that was to protect him. And through all his lifetimes and for thousands of years that's exactly what I did. Until I started visiting Hell. I knew it was something I should not have done. I had no business there. But memories from the past pulled me in. And I started spending more and more time in Hell with my old acquaintances who'd fallen. And it rekindled a centuries-old obsession I thought was long dead.
