Casimir Thorne, marked for death by the Order of the Dragon, emerges from the ashes of his sanctuary, vowing vengeance. Once an esteemed knight of the Order, Casimir’s fusion with a demonic sword has made him the hunted. His refuge at the Hajun temple, a makeshift family among the serene mountainside, is brutally destroyed, igniting a relentless thirst for retribution. Seeking allies in his war against tyranny, Casimir finds himself at Roslyn Academy, where Vlad Dracula and Lucien de Winter welcome him, recognising the potential of his cursed heritage. Together, they forge a daring alliance, rallying supernatural entities against the Order’s reign of terror. With Casimir’s demonic sword as their beacon of hope, they strategise to dismantle the Order’s leadership once and for all. But unity brings vulnerability. Their congregation at the academy might just be the opportunity the Order has been waiting for—a chance to annihilate the resistance in one fell swoop. The stakes are higher than ever. Will Casimir and his allies herald a new dawn of freedom, or will their assembly mark the end of their fight, crushed by the Order’s definitive strike? The Shadowbound Knight is the sixth Supernatural Paranormal Fantasy suspense novella in the Of Knights and Monsters series, set in Hajun Temple (Japan), Roslyn Academy (England, UK), and various secret European locations and features secret societies, supernatural encounters, thrilling adventures, plot twists, and a stark contrast between light and dark, alongside themes of love, betrayal, and redemption.

When a powerful relic goes missing from a secret society that dabbles in the occult, Miss Ianthe Martin is charged with finding it at all costs. She needs help, but all clues point to someone on the inside being the thief. The only sorcerer she knows that can't possibly be involved, is the very man she saw locked in Bedlam a year ago... The mad, bad, dangerous Earl of Rathbourne. When the seductive Miss Martin appears in his Bedlam cell, Rathbourne fears he's finally lost his mind. The devilish sorceress played a hand in his incarceration, and now she comes asking for help? Perhaps she should begin by begging for mercy... But Ianthe's offer of freedom is one he can't refuse, although he has a clause of his own to add. She may bind him with her power–the only way to still the demons haunting him–but for every day spent under her command, the nights will be his... to wreak delicious revenge on her willing flesh.

Spread throughout the dark corners of our world lies the Shadow World, a society of vampires who feed off the living. In Austin, Texas, one woman must quell the cravings rising within her, as the very fate of the world rests in her hands… Ever since her Prime, David Solomon, returned from the dead, Miranda Grey has been hungry. The transformation from ordinary vampires into the ultrapowerful children of Persephone has left both Miranda and David craving the taste of death—and their appetites are growing. Meanwhile, a formerly vague threat from a fringe group of humans has turned into a full-on war. The Order of the Morningstar has devoted itself to eradicating vampires and has begun to assassinate Primes all over the globe.

Now, with the help of a strange new ally, Miranda must put aside her hunger and access long-forgotten magic to save the Circle, but time is running out…

Winter's love is blood and chaos...but fire isn't all that smolders at Summer's heart. To claim Bran forever, Macsen has begun the ancient ritual of sidhe courtship—but such a rite is a trial in more ways than one. Tradition requires that Macsen seek Bran's favor in his own country, and a Summer courtship is teasing and promising. More than that, Summer's Queen will come between Macsen and her son however she can. Despite his mother's disapproval, Bran's will is bent to the same purpose as Macsen's—the achievement of four proofs of love, proofs that only Bran can determine or acknowledge. One step at a time, they come closer to a day when nothing will be able to separate them—but a familiar foe is more than willing to try. In the mortal world, the year has continued to pass without a hint of green. The Green King has prevented the spring, and thus all seasons but winter. Still, it's Macsen whom Dealla blames, and all her plans for violent retribution are directed at him. Failure may cost her everything, but that is a price she has long been willing to pay. In the wake of her invasion, Macsen is left with a dilemma that might not be easy to solve. Love, or vengeance—which should he choose? Can they live together in the same heart?
