The Human Lands: Demon Hunter (Book 2)
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."

"Where is the girl?" Zek asked.
The demon laughed deeply. Sand spread out along the ground from under the creature's cloak and snapped out at them.
Raphael was first to be caught as a tendril shot at him and caught him as he tried to chop it in half. Zek was soon caught as he jumped for the wall and tried to fly into the air. The only one that avoided the sand's grasp was Set who moved like lightning and dodged every attempt to capture him.
The demon stood up and threw back its hood.
"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 demon laughed.
