More Information
Note: Either “Red Viper” or “The Dancing Crow” can be read for Book 1 of the series. They tell the story from different perspectives, and the beginning/middle of the books are different from one another, with the same end result, since they intersect. You would get different backstories based on which book you read, as the characters telling the story are different. Therefore, either or both can be read, and you’d be able to advance in the series, as well as get something different out of each! Pick your favorite!
Hey, I’m Ares. Big, bad, scary vampire that your kind is supposed to be afraid of. And I’m here to help save you!
They call me the “Dancing Crow”. Don’t ask me who ‘they’ is. No idea. Anyway, my kind has emerged from the shadows and ripped the mantle of ‘dominant species’, or whatever, right from your hands. Shame, really. If only you didn’t erase magic from your history.
Anyway-z, I used to prowl the streets, ripping to shreds the evils of your society. Like some twisted superhero, or something. Everything changed when other vampires had enough, and well, here we are. Now my gang and I are trying to establish harmony in this city, at least. Not many would expect a gang, of all things, to be heroes. But here we are.
Now, if only I could get this vampire hunter to leave me alone. No idea what her deal is, but she clearly can’t kill me despite ‘trying’ her hardest. Ah well, I know my job, and it’s to continue doing SOMETHING to help out here.
CONTENT WARNING: Heavy gore, sexual assault and rescue from it, extreme religious indoctrination/manipulation, and heavy profanity.
This is Book 1, Crow Version, in the Kingdoms of Blood series. Purchase here on Amazon. Purchase in other areas here!
Hope you like apocalypse stories. Because you’re in one.
Scrap everything you know about the world around you. The things that go bump in the night are the least of your concerns. It’s my job to defeat the real monsters before they can get to you. Until life as we know it changes forever, of course.
Now I have to work with one of these leeches. His name is Goliath, and he doesn’t take too kindly to his tyrannical brother’s merciless path. The vampires have ripped the mantle of Earth’s dominant species from their grasp, and Ash has capitalized on it. Now, it’s time for me to get over my deep hatred for vampires and suck it up.
[REWRITE IN PROGRESS! Not available as of now :)]
Ever see a Tasmanian Devil shapeshifter before? Well, you’re about to meet one. The name’s Darcia Deville.
We might have established harmony in Elapid City, but there’s a bunch of twisted vampire hunters eyeing us now. If they get their knives into our vampires, well, that can only end badly. So, now, we’re taking the fight to them.
Everything just had to go wrong, though.
My partner, Robert Smoke, a turned vampire, ended up captured by an insane scientist known as Doctor Astral. I need to save that brat in distress before he gets himself tortured to death. Not only that, but this woman is messing around with magic and science to an alarming extent. Wolfmen never existed before.
Apparently, they do now.
CONTENT WARNING: Extreme gore, descriptive sex scenes, profanity, rescue from sexual assault, & graphic torture.
This is Book 2 in “The Kingdoms of Blood” series.
Note: The Cobratongue Saga is meant to be standalone, however is a continuation in the timeline from The Kingdoms of Blood. There are new main characters, whereas main characters from the first series are now side characters. That said, The Cobratongue Saga does have spoilers for its previous series, but by no means is the previous series a required read for this one! The world building and context is still in this series for purpose of it being a standalone yet continuation.
The world might be shattered around us, but I’m not about to give up hope. It’s time for me, and many other humans, to learn magic.
Note: Now a “Work in Progress”! This book is going through rewrites – turning from one book into 4! Things will be added, and nothing major changed – just timelines moved around. Stay tuned!
Animated cover by Morgan Wright!
