Joleene Naylor is the author of the glitter-less Amaranthine vampire universe, a world where vampires aren't for children. Comprised of a main series, a standalone prequel, and several short story collections, she has plans to continue expanding with a trilogy and standalone novels. 
In her spare time, Joleene is a freelance book cover designer and for-fun photographer. She maintains several blogs, full of odd ramblings, and occasionally updates her website at JoleeneNaylor.com. In what little time is left, she watches anime, plays PokemonGo, and works on her crooked Victorian house in Villisca, Iowa. Between her husband, family, and pets, she is never lonely, in fact, quite the opposite. Should she disappear, one might look for her on a beach in Tahiti, sipping a tropical drink and wearing a disguise. 

Pulled into a world of darkness, Katelina's fate becomes intertwined with that of Jorick, a dark, enigmatic vampire. To stay by his side, she must navigate intrigue, terror and bloodshed as they are drawn from one battle to another. Dreams of peace seem elusive, and are complicated by mysterious vampires, old relics, and an ancient master. Join Katelina and Jorick in a world where vampires don't sparkle and night is eternal.

"Malick?" Katelina echoed the name with the terror it deserved. "Did they find him?"


Wolfe ignored her for Jorick. "He's using the nuclear codes he stole. Der H?here Rat have chosen you to go to Russia and your Guild has demanded that Executioner Jamie accompany you. There is no time."


Katelina's heart stopped at the word nuclear, but her senses returned. "I'm going."


Jorick spoke before Wolfe could argue, "Yes. She comes with me." 


Katelina followed them to the Scharfrichter's office. Jamie joined them at the door and they hurried inside. Two heavy wooden desks faced each other, both manned by Scharfrichter on phones. An L shaped counter was littered with glowing computer monitors and surrounded by a crowd of both Scharfrichter and guards. In the center of the chaos stood a vampire in royal blue robes, no doubt one of the H?here Rat. He gave orders in German, his eyes on a computer monitor.
