Sunset
Nightlord Series Book 1
by Garon Whited
Genre: Urban Fantasy, Paranormal
Eric
didn't ask to be a vampire. In fact, he didn't even believe in them.
Then he meets a beautiful woman, wakes up with a hangover, and bites
his tongue with his own fangs.
Which
pretty much settles the question.
Now
he's trying to hold down his day job while learning the rules of the
Undead -- the most important being that bloodthirsty urges and
predatory instincts are a real bitch.
Upside;
Eric has the beautiful Sasha to teach him the ropes, including the
magic he'll need to survive.
Downside;
they're being hunted by members of the Church of Light, who are
determined to rid the world of vampires.
When
Sasha is killed, and Eric is thrust into an alternate world in his
quest to avenge her death. There he becomes a Nightlord, fights a
dragon with the help of his magical steed, Bronze, and upchucks a
sword named Firebrand.
But
things get really interesting when Eric finally finds Tobias, head of
the Church of Light. Soon Eric finds himself at the center of an epic
battle at the literal edge of the world in a fight to keep a terrible
darkness at bay.
"When
you fall off the Edge of the World into hordes of demonic Things from
the Outer Darkness, you really start to wonder about your life
choices."
--Eric,
part-time undead, expectant father, and short-term astronaut.
Shadows
Nightlord Series
Book 2
“I’ve
awakened in a stone box about the size of a large coffin… I’m
filthy, everything aches, and, by the various so-called gods, I smell
awful.
“I’ve
woken up in worse places.
“Hmm.
What does that say about my life choices?”
—Eric,
amateur magician, part-time vampire, and accidental king.
It's
not easy, being King. Especially when you've got an allergy to
sunrise and sunset, a fire-goddess for a mother-in-law, demonic
adversaries, random assassins, and a basement full of insecurities to
cope with.
Add
to that his daughter, the fire-priestess/princess, a couple of
lightly-deranged professional magicians, a whole city full of
wizards, and enough squabbling princes to resemble a kindergarten
argument.
It's
enough to make a man want to just go home.
Luckily
for Eric, he has the world's fastest pet rock, a smart-mouthed sword,
and a horse that not only understands him, but likes him anyway.
“An
awful lot of young ladies seem to be up all night, wandering around
the halls on the off-chance they’ll bump into the King when he’s
in the mood for a snack. Since when did I become sexy? And why didn’t
anybody warn me it was going to be work?”
—Eric,
elder geek and occasional idiot.
Orb
Nightlord Series
Book 3
We
all have inner demons. We fight them all the time. Some of us achieve
inner peace by coming to terms with them.
But
how do you come to terms with inner demons that tear free and become
outer demons?
Eric
has been a vampire for nearly a century, and his demons are more than
metaphors. While they controlled him, he was the Demon King. Now he
has to avoid the monsters in his own mind, as well as angry nobles,
fanatical religions, assassins, magi, other vampires, criminal
organizations, and the neighborhood gossip.
He
wants two things: To find Tort, and to have someplace to call
home.
It
may be too much to ask.
Knightfall
Nightlord Series
Book 4
It's
not easy, being King. You can't always rule a kingdom and still do
what needs to be done.
Eric--or
King Halar, also known as the Demon King--has more than enough
problems without the crown.
But
quitting the job of King isn't easy, either--unless you want to be
beheaded. Most people regard that as an unsatisfactory way to quit.
Even vampire lords tend to be cautious about guillotines. A King who
loses his head has a real problem... or none at all.
It's
time to sort some of these problems out, settle a few more, and kill
the rest.
But
at what cost?
"Knightfall"
is the fourth book of the "Nightlord" series. It picks up
exactly where the previous book, "Orb," ends, and carries
on with an adventure of epic proportions!
Garon Whited was supposedly born in either 1969 or 1970; the original birth certificate is suspiciously unavailable and other records do not agree.
After
spending some years in college playing with computers, he finally
joined a radical group of jellyfish herding nomads. Having fought
zombie dolphins, quasi-corporeal spirits, and brain-sucking mole
rats, he is uniquely qualified to write fantastic fiction. His
subsequent attempts at professional salsa repairman and ley line
salesman met with similar success. He claims to live in Texarkana, on
Earth, but people have been known to disagree.
