Eighty years after the Witch War resulted in victory over magic, people have long forgotten the heroes of the war: the witch hunters. Living on the fringes of society once again, the hunters continue to fulfill their thankless destined duty. But grudges still run deep for the defeated, and the final score has not been tallied.
Benrick Bayhill rediscovers his missing parents' old hunting clan after a sheltered childhood in his uncle's manor. But duty calls him back, as does his childhood companion, Vinamir Balcren. Together with his new hunter family, Benrick learns the art of witch hunting while uncovering dusty family secrets and closely-kept hunter secrets alike, all while fighting side-by-side with a young half-witch. A hunter's life on the edge requires careful application of trust, but truth is hard to come by with witches on the rise again.

I hope you all enjoy the story! It has taken me 9 years to convince myself to finally write it, and in that time I've really fallen in love with my hunters. If you like it, don't forget to show it a little lovin'! ⋆

The Coven of Three
Salem burned its witches. The world forgot their names. But the prophecy never died. Three women, strangers yet bound by fate, rise from water, earth, and fire. Their magic is both salvation and ruin, their unity both weapon and curse. In a world where hunters wear charm like a blade, and shadows breathe with ancient hunger, the coven must decide-will they heal the ages, or end them? Long before the gallows of Salem, a prophecy was whispered-of three witches bound not by blood, but destiny. Water, Earth, and Fire. Alone, they would falter. Together, they could save the world... or destroy it. Selena Waters, the mother of storms. Rowena Knight, the keeper of roots. Liliana Hayes, the fire that consumes. They did not yet know each other, but dreams and omens were already weaving their paths together. And in the shadows, the witch hunters waited-men cloaked in leather and charm, their beauty as dangerous as their blades. The storm was coming. And beneath the cold gaze of the moon, the Coven of Three would soon awaken.Complete

***HIGHEST RANKING IN VAMPIRE*** #3 - 26-9-2018 #4 - 13-8-2018 and 23-09-2018 #5 - 29-8-2018 and 5-9-2018 "What happened?" It's all I can muster at this stage but I figure it's a place to start. "You had a head injury and passed out. I cleaned you up and put you in here to rest." His voice is now calm, much different to what I heard from the other room. "You said you cleaned me up. Did you also change my clothes?" I recall his words and am almost too shocked to ask about his invasion of my privacy. A devilish smile crosses his lips as he coyly looks at his feet. He is enjoying my embarrassment. "You're clothes had blood on them and I wasn't about to put you in a clean bed with dirty clothes on. Trust me; you have nothing I haven't seen before." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vampires are real and after an eternity of hiding, they have chosen to let the world know of their existence. But when they emerged from the shadows, they were met with hostility and discernment. It wasn't long until they were segregated from humans and forced to live in Vampire Only areas while the rest of the world went on with their lives. Fed up with this malicious arrangement, the vampires waged a war on mankind and came out the victors. Mankind were forced to retreat behind concrete walls designed to keep vampires at bay and this is where they stayed for decades. Evie is a human that has just fallen victim to a trap set by vampires so that she can be used as a source of food or even a plaything for a high bidding vampire. But to her bewilderment, she is taken to Alex. A dangerous and high ranking vampire that enjoys toying with his victims. Knowing how precarious this vampire is, Evie still can't shake the feeling that his striking blue eyes are reminiscent of something but what. But what lengths will she go to find out more about him and every other vampire? I guess it's true what they say. Opposites really do attract.Complete
Prey for the Wicked
Every century, the fae declare a Harvest-a royal decree that each prince and court-favored hunter must return with a mortal-or something magical. The rules are older than crowns: no blood on the ring, no body carried across, the foot must choose the door. The fae lands have been dwindling for years. This year, the land is thin... and three hunters-flinty Thorne, charming Micah, and calculating Blaine-step through a fairy ring in the Appalachian woods to claim their prize. They find Kaida, Emery, and Lou instead. The Harvest is more than tradition; it's strategy. Old politics are waking, and doors remember who opened them. As sparks fly (and not only from blades), both sides must decide what they're willing to trade: pride, power, or the people they can't bear to lose. Wicked has always been a point of view. This time, the girls get one of their own.

WitchHunter ✔️
A WitchHunter with a glorious destiny. An assassin desperate for freedom. A stable boy with a dangerous secret. A friend with a hidden family. A brother who craves vengeance. ~~~ The deceit is this: The Hunter has a Lochri daughter. The stable boy has a secret curse. The WitchMaster isn't what he appears. No one knows how or why the Lochri came into being. Some believe it was the work of gods. Others, many, many others, believe they are spawned from something much darker. WitchHunters, employed at Hunter's guilds, live their lives in search of these monsters, these unnatural beings who dare to question the order we have kept in place for centuries. I do not hold the title of WitchHunter, however, for I am something far more sinister. I am Alice, the Demon Raven of Kindleridge, and I'm their Ace. ~~~ They call her the Ace, the assassin owned by Velius Dag, highest ranking WitchMaster in the Kingdom. For six years, the Ace has lived mostly unbothered, but all that will change when Hale Arsen, Velius's adopted son, returns to the Ridge, and the Ace is assigned to protect him, as he will one day become the future WitchMaster. Tensions rise as the two clashing personalities come together time after time in feud, but with the Lochri problem growing ever stronger, and secrets begin to unravel themselves, these two opposing forces will have to realize that working together may be the only way to keep the world from figuring out the truth that could spell disaster for them all. What happens when you realize you might be the bad guy?Complete
Southern Charms
[COMPLETED] My grandmother is a witch. My mother is a witch. My sisters are witches. Even my daddy is a warlock when he's not moonlighting as a rat (a consequence of the aforementioned grandmother's temper). So you would think I would be a witch too, right? Nope. Not a spark of magic resides in my fingertips, and even worse, I'm beginning to think I'm allergic to magic. Kind of a big problem when you live in the middle of the most magical town in Mississippi. I'm just biding my time until I turn eighteen. Then, I can pack my bags and move out into the real world- with the normal humans. Until then, I just have to survive my grandmother's experiments, my sister's nasty temper, and the charms of the town's bad boy, Ash Goodwin. Easy...ier said than done.Complete
