Book Description
Genre: Young Adult Fantasy/Paranormal Short Novel ***This is a bundled edition of the following four stories.*** Some heroes work in the shadows, only their deeds remembered. Assassins Of The Dead 1: Dark Blade 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. Assassins Of The Dead 2: Dragon Touched 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. Assassins Of The Dead 3: Society Against Vampires The Society Against Vampires are in Dreyton and vampires are going missing. Meikah is determined to do something about it before Rafe gets hurt. She's been warned they have to work within the law, that some of the members are nobles and without proof they can't pay for their crimes. Will they gain the proof needed before more innocent vampires go missing or is the society too well organised and impossible to catch? Assassins Of The Dead 4: King's Request No one turns down a request from the king. No matter what it is or how dangerous it might be. Meikah needs to find a way to cover the real reason she needs to visit the capital and worries about how much longer she can continue to follow Kellan into mischief without her family doing something drastic. Yet how can she turn down the king's request? And does she even want to? These stories were written by an Australian author using Australian spelling. Keywords: teen/young adult, assassins, vampires, shifters, ghosts, zombies, dark fantasy, medieval style setting, bookshop, academy, magic, mystery, action, adventures, swords and sorcery, strong female character.
