Seven years since he humiliated her, casting her aside and telling her just what he thought about her little obsession with him. Then he saves her life. Well, now he is back and this time he is out for blood, and all she can hope for is that it isn’t hers that’s on the menu. Because she is just your typical, ordinary, everyday girl who works and lives in London. Even if she is trying to make it on her own without the safety of her family. However, growing up knowing of the supernatural world and being human definitely has its draw backs. Especially when a certain Vampire King has her in mind for a date and his dominant and forceful ways are sending her re-ignited obsession with him into overdrive.But he does like her…doesn’t he? less

Amelia… Foresight is a great thing. It would have come in handy. Like when I decided to try and steal from an angry Vampire King. Nope, probably wasn’t one of my better ideas. And now he’s decided he’s done waiting, whatever that means. He tells me I have pushed the limits of his patience for the last seven years and now it is time to claim what is rightfully his. Because now it turns out that I am not the only one with an unhealthy obsession. He just hides his better... moreAmelia… Foresight is a great thing. It would have come in handy.

He tells me I have pushed the limits of his patience for the last seven years and now it is time to claim what is rightfully his. Because now it turns out that I am not the only one with an unhealthy obsession. He just hides his better. Well, he isn’t hiding anymore. And as for me. I am now his prisoner who, unknowingly, just slammed the door to my own cell. And all because I stole from him. Stole the heart of the notorious, Vampire King. less

Amelia… So, there were many things I could have done differently. I could have gone on a cruise and forget about stealing a killer box from a Vampire King. I could have shaved my head and become a Tibetan monk. I could have also lost my virginity to some nice Texas cowboy who wanted to introduce me to his mother. But instead, I went to Germany and ended up fighting Mercenaries. I also fell in love with a Vampire King who claimed me as his... moreAmelia… So, there were many things I could have done differently.

Amelia Lego sets, Star Trek and junk food in my pajamas, These used to be how I would spend my safe and lazy days off. Now, what am I doing with my time…? High-speed chases, running from Hellhounds, fighting witches, opening boxes that threaten the entire Vampire race, and stabbing bitches with my shoes. But hey, at least I get to wear a pretty dress on my date. Now all I can hope for is that it isn’t one where people end up shooting at us again. That would be nice... moreAmelia Lego sets, Star Trek and junk food in my pajamas, These used to be how I would spend my safe and lazy days off. Now, what am I doing with my time…?

Amelia…It all started with a plane ride.Just a simple plane ride home… that’s what they said.One that wasn’t supposed to end with me flying the damn thing!But then going home wasn’t supposed to be a bad thingeither…well, that was if going home didn’t also meaning trying to hidemy new, secret boyfriend.Someone who just so happened to be my father’s old enemy... moreAmelia…It all started with a plane ride.Just a simple plane ride home… that’s what they said.One that wasn’t supposed to end with me flying the damn thing!But then going home wasn’t supposed to be a bad thingeither…well, that was if going home didn’t also meaning trying to hidemy new, secret boyfriend.Someone who just so happened to be my father’s old enemy.Should be easy right?Well, Lucius had other ideas, ones that included sneaking into myroom, reading my diary, feeling me up and getting my panties in a twistabout pretty much everything…literally.So, throw in an ancient vendetta, a curse, a witch, an old flame anda hot Vampire King trying to get in your pants at your father’s table andwhat you had was a recipe for only one thing…A world of hurt and a Map of Sorrows. less

Amelia…It all started with a kiss that ended in aworld of pain.Well, now I was on the run from that pain and my map of sorrows was only leading to one place,To a lover’s resurrection... moreAmelia…It all started with a kiss that ended in aworld of pain.Well, now I was on the run from that pain and my map of sorrows was only leading to one place,To a lover’s resurrection.But hey, a life on the run shouldn’t be too hard right, just throw in a Mob boss, a few movie cars, a phantom dance and a camping trip and what you had was a recipe for…Oh, who was I kidding!I was being hunted by a Vampire King and this time, he wasn’t just out for blood, but he was out for something far more dangerous than that…He was out to reclaim my heart.A heart he had broken.And this time, the only way to fix it was with the truth.The truth about the Tree of Souls. less

A ‘date’ he said.Just one date with a Vampire King who had been hunting me down for months…what could go wrong, right?One picnic, one witch, an ex-girlfriend out for my blood, and an army of zombie vampire rogues later, and what I had was an ‘Alice in Wonderland’ style cocktail for disaster!Because this Alice was about to have the mind trip of her life when peeking through the keyhole of Lucius’ memories... moreA ‘date’ he said.Just one date with a Vampire King who had been hunting me down for months…what could go wrong, right?One picnic, one witch, an ex-girlfriend out for my blood, and an army of zombie vampire rogues later, and what I had was an ‘Alice in Wonderland’ style cocktail for disaster!Because this Alice was about to have the mind trip of her life when peeking through the keyhole of Lucius’ memories. All before falling down a rabbit hole to Hell, where the bunnies were more likely to stab you with a carrot before eating your soul!But hey, it’s not like I had just been dumped in the middle of a Hellish battle with nothing but my wits to survive it,Oh no, wait…That had happened.And one other thing that was sure to happen when Lucius finally found me in Hell…He was going to kill me! less

The plan was simple, step into Hell,Find some infected roots, try my hand at fixing them,And then it was well done Amelia, you saved the day!But I didn’t bargain on a few factors set against me,The most obvious being that this…well this was Hell.And in this realm of Hell there were rules, there was a hierarchy and as for me,I was at the bottom of it.A dangerous place to be, especially when the man at the top was known as a tyrant king.A heartless, cold and ruthless ruler... moreThe plan was simple, step into Hell,Find some infected roots, try my hand at fixing them,And then it was well done Amelia, you saved the day!But I didn’t bargain on a few factors set against me,The most obvious being that this…well this was Hell.And in this realm of Hell there were rules, there was a hierarchy and as for me,I was at the bottom of it.A dangerous place to be, especially when the man at the top was known as a tyrant king.A heartless, cold and ruthless ruler.Oh, and one more thing…he just so happened to be my boyfriend.And he was…furious with me. less

The plan had sounded simple,Step into Hell and save a Tree.That was all I had needed to do.However, that plan was becoming more complicated by the minute and that list was growing eternally bigger.Like killing demonic Queens,Removing Claiming HexesOutrunning hungry beastsAnd mainly, trying not to piss off Vampire boyfriends, any more than being constantly kidnapped down in Hell is likely to do.And now fate had chosen me to be its blood queen.Only one fuelled by…The Roots of Rage.

I didn’t intend for it to happen this way.But then again, I never did.No, it was what others had intended for me that was the problem and this had all started yet again with a witch and a double cross.We had made it to the portal, only a trip back to Lucius’ Kingdom wasn’t on the cards... moreI didn’t intend for it to happen this way.But then again, I never did.No, it was what others had intended for me that was the problem and this had all started yet again with a witch and a double cross.We had made it to the portal, only a trip back to Lucius’ Kingdom wasn’t on the cards. Because now we were to face a new enemy, one with a handsome face, a killer smile and a land full of Dragons!Now we had once again been pushed down the rabbit hole, and this was as far from Wonderland as you can get!For we were not in Kansas Hell anymore.No, this was the Elemental Realm of Fae and here, there was one ruler who knew I was coming.In fact…He was counting on it. less

I knew the moment my soul burned.I knew the moment the Wraith of Fire had touched me.And now…Was it really so hard for the Heavens to produce some white light?But no, not even just a warm glow at the end of some graffitied tunnel and as for Pearly Gates, well they wouldn’t be opening for me any time soon!Because I wasn’t where I was supposed to be... moreI knew the moment my soul burned.I knew the moment the Wraith of Fire had touched me.And now…Was it really so hard for the Heavens to produce some white light?But no, not even just a warm glow at the end of some graffitied tunnel and as for Pearly Gates, well they wouldn’t be opening for me any time soon!Because I wasn’t where I was supposed to be. And I could forget all my jokes about falling into Wonderland and Oz and seeing any of those fuzzy fellas from Narnia, because no amount of wishing that my life was a fairy tale would make it so.Not when I was caught in this nightmare world. One where I was to be terrorised by its ruler for an eternity.A tyrant King that wanted a new game to play.One I had no chance of winning.Not when it was my heart, that was on the line. less

I should have felt it coming.I should have been prepared for saying goodbye.But then why would I when I had no reason not to trust him.When I had no reason to doubt his words.But now I was left only doubting my own.For surely Lucius would come for me?Surely, he would realise his mistakes.Because we both knew that mistakes in Hell could be deadlyand well, for this Queen of Sinsit could mean only one thing,My King was going to War and this time…He was Fighting his Past.

The dust of Battle has settled over the Land.War cries of victory are Echoed throughout Hell.And now I can get back to my life of Lego and Star Trek,With one big difference,I now have a King to share it with.But it seems as if Fate had a different idea for me,And any plans for peace are shattered with the strength of my dreams,Nightmares of one last foe I must face.For the Wraith Master still haunts me and the vow I made even more so... moreThe dust of Battle has settled over the Land.War cries of victory are Echoed throughout Hell.And now I can get back to my life of Lego and Star Trek,With one big difference,I now have a King to share it with.But it seems as if Fate had a different idea for me,And any plans for peace are shattered with the strength of my dreams,Nightmares of one last foe I must face.For the Wraith Master still haunts me and the vow I made even more so.Now I must choose to walk the path of peace,or the path of a promise once made.A promise that will lead me to a place unknown,One not even Lucius can save me from.Not when he is the enemy.In this,Knights of Past. less
