Of Shadow and Death
After partly avenging her mother's death, Evette Star, the illegitimate daughter of an elven king, sets off on a warpath to find the adversary of her people. The human King in the West, Dracul Dregoth, has locked himself away in a stone tower for reasons unbeknownst to those who fear him. His reign has blanketed the land in darkness, and while Evette knows little about the man, she intends to make him pay for the deeds done by those who have obeyed his relayed orders. She will bring him to justice, even if it means uncovering hidden secrets that will force her to question if all of her efforts were really worth the trouble.

Werewolves, dragons, and undead spirits may keep her from reaching her destination on time, but her need for fiery vengeance will be sated.

Ravena finds herself in the crosshairs of warring factions - from the fanatical coven that has cultivated her as their "Blessed Vessel", to the astonishing emergence of powerful draconic behemoths. When one towering dragonlord turns its smoldering, bestial regard upon Ravena's exposed form, it ignites a conflagration that will scorch away her reality and thrust her into a dark mythological universe. A world where dragons rule as elemental demigods, rendering humanity as mere playthings to satiate their primal hungers. Caught between clashing dynasties, draconic mysteries, and the haunting resonance of that dragonlord's blazing stare, Ravena has two paths before her - to somehow reclaim her fragile human existence, or surrender to the untamed power that now storms through her veins. Steeped in eroticism and primal mysticism, Nogard is a searing dark fantasy where myth and flesh intertwine.

I forgot how to breathe, my mind whirring as it tried to figure out how I could have been so stupid as to let this happen. *************************************************** Wren Heatherfield is on the run.
