|| ✨ 2022 WATTYS WINNER ✨ || || x8 FEATURED || Kill the monsters. Claim the bounty. Escape to Alaska. ------------ Ten years ago, an event known as The Turning upset the balance of Earth's ecosystems. Demons emerged from the depths of Hell, dragging along with them obscure creatures from old myths and legends. In the midst of all this chaos, eighteen-year-old Raine Barlow makes a living by hunting monsters. No price is too high, no monster is too deadly. Her goal is simple: to make enough money to escape to Alaska -- where her parents are rumored to be held. And Raine just might be able to do it: the mayor of Eureka has agreed to pay her $10,000 to escort his young daughter to the City of Dust -- a former metropolis surrounded by walls and secrets. Armed with poison-tipped crossbow bolts, her own brand of small magic, and an aging battle-elk named Winston, Raine and her charge must trek across the dust-covered and desolate stretches of a California highway, all the while trying to avoid the monsters and demons who are trying to take over the world.

AUTHORS NOTE I would like to tell you an extraordinary story. So I shall start at the beginning as most stories do. Once upon a time, there were two unusual beings.....All right, let's skip the theatrics and get down to the nitty gritty. If you have ever read a Nikki Paiva book, you would find the jest in the introduction. Merged in Black, forms part of a trilogy titled Shattered Resistance, the first volume is an introduction to the main character named Zane, and his life story, and how he became the Guardian of the ocean. Secondly, Merged in Black forms part of a book titled Belligerence, and the introduction to the main character, Lark Hull, an exceptional being. Belligerence brings Zane and his Clan, to Lark's aid, in the never ending fight against evil, where wars are fought, against monsters and demons, where there is conflict, love and betrayal. More so, Belligerence opens the mind to man-made demons, inner conflict and the perils of marriage and raising children in an ever changing world. As much as Shattered Resistance and Belligerence are based on Lore, these books edge on reality. Merged in Black continues, with the fight between good and evil, Angels and Demons, and gruesome monsters created from the writer's imagination. On the precipice of death, Lark and Zane merge as one. Their journey is filled with strife, love and the ever present forces that want to put an end to their reign. Lark has dragon mutations, he has the eyes of a dragon, and venom so powerful, many of the beings from the Underworld, do not want to fight him. Together they stand, better than friends, stronger than brothers, they stand as one soul, Merged in Black. This book is published with the express permission of the author, Nikki Paiva.
