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.

Though Katelina expected Ark to protest about them riding in the cars again, he only shouted at the guard to drive, as if trying to ignore them.


The trip felt longer than yesterday. She checked her watch half a dozen times. Five minutes. Ten minutes. Twenty. With each second that passed Lilith got closer to her battle with Samael.


Finally, they parked at the airfield. Jamie told Jorick goodbye, then followed Ark inside. Sorino nodded along to a conversation on his phone and motioned them in. "It's set."


Verchiel rubbed his hands together. "Excellent. We should probably get going. Every minute counts."


"We?" Jorick asked. "Your place is with Ark."


The redhead shrugged. "Technically, I didn't get sent here by The Guild, which means I don't need to give a report. Shall we?"


"What about your car?" Katelina nodded to the streaky, sooty vehicle with the gaping windshield. "You're leaving it?"
