Sunset: Book One of the Nightlord Series
Sunset brought a hangover, a beautiful woman, and the thirst for… blood? 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; it turns out being a vampire is the least of his problems. When Sasha is killed, 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: Book Two of the Nightlord Series
“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: Book Three of the Nightlord Series
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: Book Four of the Nightlord series
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!
Void: Book Five of the Nightlord series
Eric knows it’s not easy, being King. Fortunately, he has a Queen for that.
Eric—or King Halar, or Vlad, or any number of aliases—doesn’t want to be bothered. It’s hard to pin down what he does want, if anything. He lives a quiet life, almost a solitary one, mourning in his own way for the loss of someone dear. His quiet solitude can’t go on forever. Despite the empty places inside him, events and creatures move through the worlds and across the void between, forcing him into action, into fighting, into confronting Things perhaps better left alone…
…even forcing him into being a King.
”Void” is the fifth book of the “Nightlord” series, following “Nightlord: Knightfall.”
Fugue: Book Seven of the Nightlord series
Eric—part-time King, quasi-avatar, and unconventional wizard—has an epic quest before him. He must return to his lost kingdom to save it, slay a creature claiming to be a god, and navigate the terrible risks of a paradox that could undo everything! And to top it off, he’s trying to raise a daughter. Nobody said being a vampire was going to be easy, but none of this was in the brochure!
”Fugue” is the seventh book in the “Nightlord” series, following “Nightlord: Mobius.”
