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.

Jorick glared, but she motioned him quiet. "What do you mean 'we'?"


"There's been a battle. A big one. If I had to guess, I'd say Lilith and Samael were involved."


Katelina's heart stopped. "You're sure?"


"I can't be sure yet. I just got assigned to go deal with the aftermath. They're sending all the Executioners who are dream stealers or whisperers, and a bunch of guards. We're heading to the airstrip and should be at ground zero in a couple of hours. If the pictures are anything to go by-I don't know anyone else who can cause this kind of destruction. Whole houses were destroyed. It looks like bombs except-"


"Except there weren't any bombs." Katelina remembered the masquerade; the way Lilith and Samael threw invisible balls of power that ultimately brought down the ceiling. "Do you think they were fighting each other?"


"I'd guess so, but I'm not there. We'll collect testimony before we wipe the humans' minds." 


"Okay. Where is it? Where are you going?"
