Sacrifice

For millennia, the Sentinels have hunted the vampires with steel and magic. Antonio is the Wind of Fire, the strongest Sentinel of that element, the most powerful spellcaster of his generation. Edgar is a capable Fire Sentinel in his own right, and serves as Antonio's lieutenant. Together, the two of them were chosen for a very special mission: to scout out the vampires' greatest citadel, the Court of Shadows itself, in preparation for the Sentinels' final assault. Their actions that night will set in motion a destructive chain of events that will echo across supernatural society for generations.

Steel and Shadow

Three friends celebrating a windfall in their musical careers take a wrong turn down a deserted alleyway to find their path blocked by two creatures out of nightmare. Surviving only through Antonio's arcane intervention, they find themselves thrust unwillingly into the center of a war of extermination between two mystical races.

The Gauntlet

Rory loved his best friend Takeshi for as long as he can remember, though he never had the courage to speak of it. When Rory is captured, his soul hangs in the balance as the Nightwalkers delve into ancient magic to corrupt his spirit. Takeshi attempts a desperate rescue, but is unprepared to face the enemy that waits in the depths of the vampire fortress. In the end, his own damnation may be the key to Rory's salvation.

Night and Day

Nick was surprised to see Rory at a Christmas party so many years after the other musician disappeared from public life. Renewing their friendship, he remains completely unaware that Rory is not at all what he appears to be. Nick's ignorance costs him dearly when Rory's enemies attack. To save Nick, Rory and his allies must find a way to triumph over the first and greatest of the vampire lords, before Nick's soul is twisted forever by the torments of the Prince of Nightmares.

By the Sword

Jeremy was lured into the service of the terrorist Medusa under false pretenses. But the night Medusa tried to obliterate Los Angeles with a stolen nuclear bomb, Nick triggers the onset of Jeremy's extraordinary psychic gifts, changing his destiny forever as the supernatural world is drawn fully into the spotlight.

Betrayal and treachery lurk around every corner on the road to coexistence, and at every turn, each of them must question who to trust among their metahuman allies, friends, and lovers--before their civilization is plunged into the depths of darkness and bloodshed. After thirty thousand years of conflict, the war between the four races draws inexorably toward its end, setting them all upon a path to final victory, or to total extinction.
