Necromancers are hated equally as much as they’re feared. They’re ostracised and hunted from towns and villages, finding refuge in uncivilised areas such as the Arcton Mountains. No one is born knowing they’re a necromancer. It isn’t until they’re a teenager or in their early twenties that they learn about their abilities. For some, it’s a skill they look forward to using.
Meikah is stunned to learn she’s a necromancer. The last thing she wants is to be driven from the town she grew up in or separated from her family. The only ones who might be able to help her are a secret organization called the Assassins Of The Dead. A group who hunt down necromancers and destroy the spirits and zombies they summon. The local group seems a mismatched lot and includes nobles, an assassin, a sorcerer, a shapeshifter and a vampire. Meikah has no idea if they can help, but there doesn’t seem to be anyone else she can turn to.
Some heroes work in the shadows, only their deeds remembered.

Assassins Of The Dead 1: Dark Blade
Genre: Young Adult Fantasy/Paranormal
Meikah’s family are templars, as far from necromancers as it’s possible to be. When she learns that not only can she see the dead, but also wield magic, she fears what the future holds. She doesn’t want to become a necromancer, or a dark blade, but there seems to be few choices now available to her. It doesn’t help that people have begun to treat her like she’s an evil necromancer and rumours have started. Nor does she believe Kellan when he says she belongs with the Assassins Of The Dead. They seem to be a mismatched group that include nobles, an assassin, a sorcerer, a shapeshifter and a vampire. Not at all like templars. And if she was to join them, the rumours will never end and her family might actually disown her.
Dark Blade is available at the following retailers:
Assassins Of The Dead 2: Dragon Touched
Genre: Young Adult Fantasy/Paranormal.
Meikah, Kellan, Livia and Rafe travel to the Arcton Mountains when an assassin comes asking for help. A vampire holding is overrun by zombies. But it’s not the bandits and necromancers that most fear in the area. It’s the dragons and their nesting grounds. Cross a dragon and they never forget. And certainly never forgive. In an area known for its myths, legends and dangers you need to stay vigilant if you want to survive.

As an Assassin Of The Dead, Meikah’s been taught to always go to the source when trying to find out information. This time she fears she may have taken that principle a little too far. Infiltrating the Necromancer Resistance turns out to be a lot more dangerous than she assumed. No one trusts her, no one can be trusted and what they expect her to do might have her ending up as one of them rather than stopping them from taking over the country. Her future looks like it might be a choice between death or being outlawed and hunted by even the dragons themselves.
