Thor, the Norse god of thunder, is worse than a blowhard and a bully -- he's ruined countless lives and killed scores of innocents. After centuries, Viking vampire Leif Helgarson is ready to get his vengeance, and he's asked his friend Atticus O'Sullivan, the last of the Druids, to help take down this Norse nightmare. One survival strategy has worked for Atticus for more than two thousand years: stay away from the guy with the lightning bolts. But things are heating up in Atticus's home base of Tempe, Arizona. There's a vampire turf war brewing, and Russian demon hunters who call themselves the Hammers of God are running rampant. Despite multiple warnings and portents of dire consequences, Atticus and Leif journey to the Norse plain of Asgard, where they team up with a werewolf, a sorcerer, and an army of frost giants for an epic showdown against vicious Valkyries, angry gods, and the hammer-wielding Thunder Thug himself.

Lady Hero Batten, the beautiful sister of the Duke of Wakefield, has everything a woman could want, including the perfect fiancé.  True, the Marquis of Mandeville is a trifle dull and has no sense of humor, but that doesn't bother Hero.  Until she meets his notorious brother....

Zarek's Point of View: Dark-Hunter: A soulless guardian who stands between mankind and those who would see mankind destroyed. Yeah, right. The only part of that Code of Honor I got was eternity and solitude. Insanity: A condition many say I suffer from after being alone for so long. But I don't suffer from my insanity-I enjoy every minute of it. Trust: I can't trust anyone...not even myself. The only thing I trust in is my ability to do the wrong thing in any situation and to hurt anyone who gets in my way. Truth: I endured a lifetime as a Roman slave, and 900 years as an exiled Dark-Hunter. Now I'm tired of enduring. I want the truth about what happened the night I was exiled-I have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Astrid (Greek, meaning star): An exceptional woman who can see straight to the truth. Brave and strong, she is a point of light in the darkness. She touches me and I tremble. She smiles and my cold heart shatters. Zarek: They say even the most damned man can be forgiven. I never believed that until the night Astrid opened her door to me and made this feral beast want to be human again. Made me want to love and be loved. But how can an ex-slave whose soul is owned by a Greek goddess ever dream of touching, let alone holding, a fiery star?

Imprisoned and tortured by the demoness who tricked him into betraying the Nightkeepers and the woman he loves, Rabbit must endure excruciating pain to protect the diminished Skywatch army as the end-time approaches. Although an ancient prophecy says his unique powers are key to winning the final battle in the doomsday war, he hasn't just lost his credibility -- he's lost his magic. Myrinne is far from the woman Rabbit once knew -- she's got magic now, and despite emotional scars, she's strong enough to help the Nightkeepers. And yet she's not prepared to handle the fiercely driven man he's become or the new, dangerous feelings that spark between them. With the barrier ready to fall and a xombi outbreak in the human world, Rabbit and Myrinne must forge a new partnership amid dangerous instability and the threat of an undead army. In the end, it will be up to Rabbit to master his ferocious magic -- or all will be lost. For him, for the woman he doesn't have the right to love anymore, and for the fate of the world...

CAN A PIRATE LEARN THAT THE ONLY TRUE TREASURE LIES IN A WOMAN'S HEART? Widowed Silence Hollingbrook is impoverished, lovely, and kind -- and nine months ago she made a horrible mistake.  She went to a river pirate for help in saving her husband and in the process made a bargain that cost her her marriage.  That night wounded her so terribly that she hides in the foundling home she helps run with her brother.  Except now that same river pirate is back... and he's asking for her help. "Charming" Mickey O'Connor is the most ruthless river pirate in London.  Devastatingly handsome and fearsomely intelligent, he clawed his way up through London's criminal underworld.  Mickey has no use for tender emotions like compassion and love, and he sees people as pawns to be manipulated.  And yet he's never been able to forget the naive captain's wife who came to him for help and spent one memorable night in his bed... talking. When his bastard baby girl was dumped in his lap -- her mother having died -- Mickey couldn't resist the Machiavellian urge to leave the baby on Silence's doorstep.  The baby would be hidden from his enemies and he'd also bind Silence to him by her love for his daughter.
