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.

"Just as I suspected." Wolfe glared from one to the other. "You have much to answer for."


"If you mean your guards" Jorick began. Wolfe cut him off.


"That is an issue. More important are the orders you disobeyed. You were to return with me to Munich, instead you ran to Laos. You do not understand what it means to serve the Sodalitas!"


"I don't serve them. I was only reinstated because Malick thought I would join his rebellion. I'm not here by their command, or yours. I'm here to kill Malick."


Wolfe and Jorick glowered at one another while clouds of power gathered around them. Finally Wolfe relented. "Yes. Our intelligence reports that he will arrive tomorrow with an army. We know that Samael can stop them. Whether he will or not remains to be seen, just as we're unsure whether he would respect civilian lives. As a precaution, we have evacuated the area. No one is allowed to enter. That includes you."
