Of all those in the King of Alden’s retinue, the bloodbinders are the most prized. The magic they wield can forge invaluable weapons, ones that make soldiers like Lady Alix Black unerringly lethal. However, the bloodbinders’ powers can do so much more—and so much worse… A cunning and impetuous scout, Alix only wishes to serve quietly on the edges of the action. But when the king is betrayed by his own brother and left to die at the hands of attacking Oridian forces, she winds up single-handedly saving her sovereign. Suddenly, she is head of the king’s personal guard, an honor made all the more dubious by the king’s exile from his own court. Surrounded by enemies, Alix must help him reclaim his crown, all the while attempting to repel the relentless tide of invaders led by the Priest, most feared of Oridia’s lords. But while Alix’s king commands her duty, both he and a fellow scout lay claim to her heart. And when the time comes, she may need to choose between the two men who need her most…

This anthology is a collection of spine-chilling narratives drawn from the darkest corners of the cosmos, where the laws of reality bend and twist, and the veil between the mundane and the macabre is perilously thin. Each tale serves as a portal to an otherworldly realm, where the inexplicable and the terrifying converge to weave a tapestry of cosmic horror. These stories are not bound by the limitations of our known universe; instead, they propel readers into the cosmic unknown, where the echoes of dread and the whispers of the eldritch dance in the shadows. As the curator of this ethereal compendium, I invite you, dear reader, to embark on a journey into the realms beyond the stars. Prepare to encounter malevolent entities, ancient forces, and unspeakable horrors that defy earthly comprehension. These stories are not for the faint of heart; they are tales that grip the soul and elicit a primal fear—a fear that resonates not only with the unknown lurking in the cosmos but also with the depths of the human psyche. In the following pages, you will traverse desolate planets shrouded in perpetual darkness, confront entities that defy the laws of nature, and witness the awakening of malevolent forces that have slumbered for eons. Each story is a portal to a different dimension, a glimpse into the cosmic nightmares that await those who dare to peer beyond the veil.

Every human of adult age and sufficient health shall therefore donate, every sixty days, one pint of blood to the blood bank of his or her district, ensuring the survival of the vampire race, the continued safety of humankind, and peace between the species—Edict Fourteen of The Crimson Accord As long as I can remember, I've longed for a different life—one filled with adventure, excitement, and romance. This wasn't exactly what I had in mind… One minute I was riding in a horse-drawn buggy on my way home to my quiet Amish village— the next was torn by the screech of car tires, and twisted metal, and the white hot lance of pain. There was no doubt in my mind my life was over. So when I woke up to the face of a beautiful stranger who promised me the suffering would end soon, I thought I'd seen an angel. I couldn't have been more wrong. Abigail Byler is caught between two worlds at the worst possible time in human/vampire history. A peace treaty signed fifty-five years ago allowed vampires to come out of hiding and begin participating in the world in a respectable, productive way. Not only did it permanently solve supply chain issues arising from illness, death, and exhaustion for humans (Vampires make phenomenal long-haul truck drivers and night-shift workers) it also provided a much-needed non-violent option for their kind to satisfy their own nutritional needs. As long as every healthy adult human makes regular donations to blood banks and a reasonable percentage of the supply is allotted to vampires, no one will ever be bitten (without their permission) again. But now the anti-vamp movement in America is growing, blood donations are down, and the Accord is in danger of crumbling. Abigail will have to navigate her new place in the world--and in the beautiful but deadly Crimson Court--if she's to have any hope of surviving... and helping the human race do the same. CRIMSON BORN is a romantic and gripping full length YA dystopian vampire fantasy that will transport fans of paranormal romance and young adult urban fantasy to a fascinating supernatural world within our own, filled with suspense, danger, sizzling tension, and desire. *** If you love dangerous romantic vampire fiction like Crave, the Blood and Ash series, and Crescent City, you'll fall in love with the addictive, heart pounding excitement and suspense of the Crimson Accord series!

I never thought I’d see her again. Never dared to hope. But against all odds, Abigail’s back. Unfortunately she’s as sweet as ever and even more beautiful. And I’m in serious trouble.

The epic saga that started in The Bloodbound continues... As war between Alden and Oridia intensifies, King Erik must defend his kingdom from treachery and enemies on all sides--but the greatest danger lurks closer to home... When the war began, Lady Alix Black played a minor role, scouting at the edge of the king's retinue in relative anonymity. Though she's once again facing an attacking Oridian force determined to destroy all she holds dear, she is now bodyguard to the king and wife to the prince. Still, she is unprepared for what the revival of the war will mean. Erik is willing to take drastic measures to defend his domain, even if it means sending Prince Liam into a deadly web of intrigue and traveling into the perilous wild lands of Harram himself. Only the biggest threat to the kingdom might be one that neither Alix nor Erik could have imagined, or prepared for...
