Royal Coronations. Finals. A Solstice Ball. And a mother hellbent on ruining the fae world. Just another ordinary day for me, Claire Summers, the halfling fae with access to all five elements. Everyone is counting on me, even my esteemed mentor, Elana. Because I’m the only one with enough power to take my mother down. But what if it’s all a lie? What if the bad guy I’ve been chasing all along is the one standing right by my side? I’m in for the fight of my life with five fae protectors and an ally I never saw coming.

Vampire King Daemon has returned! Now he must gather his allies even as his main enemy makes their move against him. Will he be able to win over the hearts and minds of the Vampires he left behind so long ago? Will people like Balthazar, who have suffered in his absence, be able to believe—and more importantly—trust in him again? Even as Vampire politics heat up and the danger increases, Julian and Christian must deal with some of the practical problems of becoming Vampires themselves. Things like whether or not they tell Christian’s parents that they are now lords of the night.

Julian Harrow and Christian Thorne are now Vampires! And both young men have been united with their Masters after trials and tribulations. But if they thought that becoming Vampires was dangerous and exciting, being the fledglings of the exiled Lord Balthazar Ravenscroft and the Vampire King Daemon will blow that out of the water. Because both Balthazar and Daemon have enemies that are intent on making sure that they and their new fledglings are given their Second Deaths.

Vampires are real. At least that’s what Julian Harrow and Christian Thorne are trying to prove with their YouTube show. But as they uncover the truth, the beautiful monsters they seek, are also seeking them. Lord Balthazar Ravenscroft, the roguish Vampire with the ability to read minds, finds himself drawn to Christian, determined to protect the boy, even as his quest to uncover the truth puts all of Vampire kind in danger. But worse, as Christian and Julian have discovered the Ever Dark, the Vampire’s secret world, where they risk waking the most powerful, deadly Vampire of all.

The undead are unquiet! Beset on all sides, Julian and Daemon must face off against an army of zombies. Christian, Balthazar, Caemorn and Fiona have their hands full with ghosts. The Immortal Kaly is not giving up their fight against the Vampire King anytime soon, but neither is Daemon going to back down from regaining what is his.

While Julian and Christian have been struggling to understand what their new Vampire lives will be going forward, they haven’t counted on their prior human lives being much more complicated. But that’s exactly the case as Christian’s parents come to dinner at Ravenscroft Manor. But the boys are not the only ones finding out that their pasts are going to interfere with their presents. Balthazar is struggling to accept that he is the Immortal Eyros reborn. But he may not be the only other Immortal that is back… or maybe never left.

I run the club. If someone steps out of line, they either work for me or disappear. But when a local man runs up too much debt, I take his daughter as payment. She is mine to do with as I please. I will have her completely; mind, body, and soul. Nothing would please me more than breaking her. I didn’t think I would feel for her. I didn’t think I could love again. Now I might be the one who ends up broken.

Even as Vampire King Daemon extends his reach and restores his incredible power in the Vampire World, his enemies continue to move against him. Meanwhile, Julian and Christian are learning more about their powers and just what this Second Life as powerful Vampires means.

In Unfit for Purpose, biologist and broadcaster Adam Hart explores the mismatch between our fundamental biology and the modern world we have created. In each chapter Adam reveals the many ways in which biological adaptations that evolved to help us survive and thrive now work against us. For example, in the modern world stress is a killer, but how did 'fight or flight' instincts turn from life-savers to life-takers? Obesity might be a disease now, but is it really just a troublesome side-effect of our complex evolutionary past?

Every Vampire Bloodline has a gift. Eyros Vampires can read and control minds. Kaly Vampires can raise the dead and command your very soul. Wyvern Vampires can teleport from one reality to another. And on it goes. But King Daemon has all of their gifts, plus one more. The Vampires call it Armageddon. No one knows what it is. Until now…

On 14 August 1943, a specially adapted Halifax bomber took off from RAF Tempsford, an SOE airbase in rural England. Their secret mission was to drop vital supplies to the French Resistance, deep in occupied France. But their plane crashed into a village near Annecy, killing all six of the crew and five civilians. Only Adam Hart's great-grandfather, Frank Griffiths, survived. Seventy-nine years later, Adam retraced that journey so that he could re-tell the story of the great escape and his emotional encounters with descendants of people who'd risked their lives to save Frank.
