The lonely and grieving Evan Umbra is the newest Venator to enter Veneseron, the school for demon hunters.

A Venator is a wizard, a spy and a demon hunter rolled into one. They're taught how to wield their sorcery and enchanted weaponry by orcs, elfpires and aliens alike. 
Their missions range from battling monsters and saving countless lives in the multiple worlds, to the more peculiar, like wrangling killer unicorns and calming down drunken yetis. In their free time Venators enjoy goblin soap-operas and underwater bubble travel, but they also understand that every new mission they're given could be their last. 

Whilst learning how to manipulate the elements, summon creatures to fight for him and shoot Spellzookas, Evan encounters a dangerous rival and meets a girl who makes him feel nauseous; but in a good way. He makes the first friends he's ever had in the carefree Jed and the reckless Brooke. Whilst Jed gets on the wrong side of a rival Venator, Brooke finds herself falling for the enigmatic demon hunter who brought her to Veneseron, not knowing he isn't quite human. But it soon becomes apparent that Evan is more than just a Venator. Everyone wants to kill or capture him, from demons to Dark-Venators and even people he's supposed to be able to trust.

Evan reckons he probably won't survive his first year at Veneseron. 


The book was like Harry Potter and The Mortal Instruments and a little bit Percy Jacksonish combined. It's like I'm reading all my favorite books in one! I loved it so much! The action, the adventures, it was awesome! -Jean Claudia. Goodreads Reviewer ★★★★★

I can't recommend this book enough! A gripping story, an engrossing world and colorful characters; what more could you ask for?
-Donte Mcneal. Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★

As an angel trained to fight the forces of demons, Chiara knew to not let them take her alive, but she never expected to survive her first battle. Trapped in the depths of hell and tortured, only one thing is keeping her alive - the demon kept prisoner with her in the cold, dark cell. As the deadliest demon alive, Logan knew better than to piss off his commander by stealing whiskey and bedding his concubines. But the ladies were lonely and the whiskey was too tempting. He's paid dearly for his transgressions, though, spending months in a cell being tortured, only to regenerate at night for fresh torture the next day. Time blurs and he grows restless to be freed so he can rejoin the battles against angels, until a new captive is brought to his cell. The second he sees Chiara - her beauty and fierce strength, the blinding white of her wings - he is lost and she is the path forward. He would destroy every demon in hell to free her, but to possess her, he will have to destroy himself.
