The Demon Lands — Kenneth Guthrie

This is a short combination file that contains the first two stories of the 'Lands' series of stories. You can find the collection at Amazon.com by searching for The Demon Hunter Collection, which contains all three stories for a total of 15,500 words.

The Human Lands: Demon Hunter
There's a mystery in this town. A girl has gone missing and there are murders everywhere, but no easy explanations in sight. Zek and Raphael need to find what the evil RIP is up to before it's too late. In a world unknown they will find a hero like no other and fight demons to find the one who is behind the problems of the area. It's a suspenseful fantasy with a ending that will break even the hardest of hearts. "Edgy fantasy with humor and emotion. This is a worthwhile read for any fantasy fan."

Sample Content:
"Hate."
"Elf."
They knew each other well.
"Where is the girl?"
The demon chuckled and pulled out a whip.
"Closer than you think."
Zek winced. That was not a good thing considering Hate's abilities.
Set ran past the grabbing sand and leapt towards the demon. Hate smiled and whipped out at him with his whip.
"Stupid human."
The barbed whip flew out towards Set, but he slapped it aside with one of his swords and came straight ahead.
"No!" Zek screamed as the blade came in.
Set heard him just in time and turned his blade to deliver an elbow to the creature's face before flipping into the air and kicking off the creature's chest.
Zek and Raphael stumbled as the demon fell away from his sand trap.
"Good work!" Zek said.
Set gave him a look that told him he would have preferred killing this thing.
Zek understood.
"You can't. She's inside him."
"What?"
"He can hold one or two people inside him. She's probably there."
Set gave the demon a hard look. That evened things up nicely for that one.

The Snake Lands: The Endless One
War, danger and death. A world torn by a war between devil worshipping snakes and the forces of good will throw Zek, Raphael and Set into the fray. Demonic powers will burn the night red as demons walk freely and our heroes are called on to fight for the lives of the people of this world. It's a tale of bravery and heroism beyond anything you have read before. "An all out fightfest that will please fantasy fans who like it rough."

Sample Content:
"What are...?"
He noticed the blood on her hands and teeth.
"You are one of them!"
A human jumped out of the door and slashed at Zek.
The girl blurred and a slim short demon appeared where the girl had been standing.
The human slashed again and Zek blocked the strike with his golden sword. The human shifted too. An identical demon appeared in front of him.
"You are a popular elf - Zek the White," the creature said with a hiss.
"He certainly is, isn't he, Agony?" the other creature added in the exact same voice.
"Shall we play with them, Pain?"
Pain and Agony. These two were wicked tricksters who played with those they killed for sport. Zek had heard of them before.
Set jumped out and stabbed the Pain in the back then. She cried out and fell over.
Agony laughed.
"Do you think something like that would kill us?"
Agony spat on Zek and turned to face Set. Zek immediately fell to the ground in agony. The poison burned in him and he felt like ants were trying to eat him alive.
Raphael ran at Agony and blocked his claws as they shot towards Set.
"I'll be your dance companion today, demon."
