There will be no ransom for the kidnap victim, and if Donovan doesn't prevent an ancient, forbidden ritual from reaching its culmination, far more than a single vampire's undead existence will be at stake. My Soul to Keep: Donovan DeChance is a very private man, and he is in love. When he invites his partner and lover, Amethyst, for a quiet dinner, she has no idea of his true intention. Donovan has planned a sharing - a vision that will give her the keys to his early life - the origins of his power - and a lot more than she bargained for. Join young Donovan as he fights to keep his soul, save a town, and learn the roots of his teacher and guardian - and meet his familiar, Cleo.

Through the juke joints of Beale Street in Memphis, to the depths of The Great Dismal Swamp, Donovan and his lover and partner, Amethyst, find themselves drawn along on one of the strangest quests in their long, enigmatic lives as they delve into the world of the undead, the magic of The Blues, and the very heart of alchemy both to protect their young, vampiric charges - and to prevent an ancient evil from destroying the balance of power in the universe.

It features appearances by Geoffrey Bullfinch and Rebecca York, O.C.L.T. agents, as well as Old Mill, North Carolina's own Cletus J. Diggs.

When Anya Cabrera, a Voodoo Houngan in San Valencez California's Barrio, tampers with the ceremony that draws the Loa to possess the faithful, Donovan DeChance, book collector, mage, and private investigator is contacted immediately. Donovan helps to maintain the balance of supernatural forces in the city - and that balance is in serious danger. The Dragons, a local motorcycle gang, live under a shaky truce with a neighboring Hispanic gang, Los Escorpiones, who are now aligned with Anya. The two groups face off in a battle that becomes more than the Dragons expected. Los Escorpiones are faster than they should be, and stronger. When they are stabbed, or shot - they get back up and keep on fighting.

A young man he has been slowly mentoring, Salvatore Domingo Sanchez, joins him. Salvatore is an artist and he dreams of dragons. When Salvatore begins to paint the dragons from his dreams on the leather jackets of the Dragons of the Barrio, the balance begins to shift. Can Donovan, his lover and partner Amethyst, Martinez and Salvatore find a way to stop Anya Cabrera from unleashing a demon army on San Valencez - or will their efforts release an even greater danger into the city?

The adventures of young dragon master Jakkin Stewart are chronicled in an epic fantasy--from his apprenticeship in "Dragon's Blood," to his escape with his beloved Akki in "Heart's Blood," and straight through to their harrowing discovery in the third volume, "A Sending of Dragons."

Turn the page and open the door into the thrilling saga of The Dragon King, where myth and lore, love and magic are intermingled in a world where the strength of a pure heart stands against the powers of dark magic. Guardians, protectors of goodness and light in the world, had scarcely survived the Great War against their adversary Abdenagon the Destroyer, a fallen Guardian condemned to rule the nether gloom, who found a path into the world of the living through tempting the hearts of Guardians whose hearts fell into darkness, dark lords battling each other and the humans for the rule of all. After rebuilding the carnage of the long war, the Guardians of pure heart could not expunge the fear and hatred the humans felt toward them for the unimaginable suffering caused by the dark lords wielding their powers for evil. Guardians were forced to withdraw from the humans to live in the safety of their mountain sanctuary, Ellery Glen. In the millenniums of peace that followed, Abdenagon did not rest, regaining his strength he found in Fangull, a willing heart to fall into darkness, a servant who surpassed his expectations. Great darkness loomed over the world once again. A war the Guardians were ill prepared to fight-with their powers limited by ancient weaves, their eyes blinded, and their hearts bound by eons of beliefs and traditions that no longer held true. They awaited the fulfillment of the prophecy that a king would come to lead them into battle. The king that came was not what they had expected; their hearts fell into despair as the evil one stirred and darkness threatened to eclipse their world of goodness and light. Thus begins The Chronicles of Dragons, Wizards, and Kings of Ellery Glen.
